Pregnancy Blood Screening For Birth Defects

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 81512

Measures five substances in a pregnant woman's blood and combines those results with details such as her age and how far along the pregnancy is. The report gives the chance that the baby has a chromosome difference or an opening in the spine or skull. It is a risk estimate rather than a diagnosis.
