Red Blood Cell Folate Test

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 82747

This blood test measures the level of folate, a B vitamin, stored inside red blood cells rather than just floating in the blood plasma. Because folate builds up in red blood cells over their lifespan, this version of the test reflects a longer-term average of folate status than a same-day plasma measurement would. It's used to evaluate certain types of anemia and to check nutritional status.
