Lipoprotein Particle Blood Test

Montana rates for HCPCS 83704

This is a specialized blood test that measures the number and size of cholesterol-carrying particles in the blood, rather than just the total amount of cholesterol. It can identify a pattern of small, dense particles that is linked to a higher risk of heart disease even when standard cholesterol numbers look normal. It is generally used for a more detailed assessment of cardiovascular risk beyond a routine lipid panel.
