Red Cell Protoporphyrin Screen

Maryland rates for HCPCS 84203

A screening test on red blood cells for protoporphyrin, a building block that piles up when the body cannot complete the final step of making hemoglobin. Raised levels point towards iron deficiency or lead exposure. It gives a screening answer rather than a precise measurement.
