CD4 T-Cell Count

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 86361

Counts how many CD4 T-cells are present in a measured volume of blood. These are the immune cells that coordinate the body's defenses and the ones that HIV destroys, so the count is a direct measure of how much immune protection a person has left. It reports the CD4 cells on their own rather than alongside other immune cell types.
