Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity Score

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 81490

A blood test that measures a group of proteins linked to inflammation and combines the readings, using a set formula, into a single score describing how active rheumatoid arthritis currently is. The score helps the doctor judge whether the disease is well controlled or whether treatment should change. It is used to follow known disease rather than to make the first diagnosis.
