Prenatal Blood Test For Chromosomal Deletions

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 81422

This service is a blood test done during pregnancy that analyzes small fragments of the baby's DNA circulating in the mother's bloodstream to screen for specific chromosomal deletion syndromes - conditions caused by a missing piece of a chromosome that can be linked to birth defects or developmental conditions. It is a noninvasive screening test, meaning it does not carry the risks associated with procedures like amniocentesis. A positive result is typically followed up with further diagnostic testing.
