Fetal Fibronectin Test for Preterm Labor Risk

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 82731

This test analyzes a swab sample taken from the vagina and cervix during pregnancy to check for a protein that is normally not present at this stage unless labor is beginning. It is used in women who are having symptoms of early contractions to help estimate the short-term risk of premature delivery. A negative result is reassuring that labor is unlikely within the next couple of weeks.
