Antibody Screening By Agglutination

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 86403

This laboratory test checks a blood sample to see whether it contains a particular antibody, using a method where matching particles clump together if the antibody is present. It is a screening step, meaning it shows whether the antibody is present without necessarily measuring how much of it is there. Results help guide a treating clinician toward further, more specific testing when needed.
