Blood Screening Panel For Chromosomal Risk In Pregnancy

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 81511

This blood test panel, done during pregnancy, measures several substances in the mother's blood and combines the results into a risk estimate for certain chromosomal conditions, such as Down syndrome, or other developmental concerns in the baby. It does not diagnose a condition on its own — it estimates risk, and further testing is offered if the result is higher than expected. It requires only a standard blood draw from the mother.
