Stool Fat Screening Test

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 82705

This laboratory test checks a stool sample for the presence of excess fat, which can be a sign that the body isn't absorbing fat properly. It's a screening-level check rather than a precise measurement, often used as a first step when a doctor suspects a digestive or pancreatic problem is preventing normal fat absorption. A stronger version of the same test, done with a measured collection, gives an exact amount if more detail is needed.
