Carrier Screening For Severe Inherited Conditions

Ohio rates for HCPCS 81443

This is a laboratory analysis of a blood or saliva sample that checks a person's DNA for changes linked to a group of serious inherited conditions, such as cystic fibrosis or certain inherited blood disorders. It looks across many genes at once rather than testing for a single condition, and is typically ordered before or during pregnancy to help a couple understand their chance of having a child affected by one of these conditions. Results are usually reviewed with a genetic counselor or physician.
