Virginia rates for HCPCS 86769

Looks in a blood sample for antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19, showing that the immune system has responded to the virus or, depending on the antibody found, to vaccination. It is not used to diagnose a current infection, because antibodies take time to appear. A positive result does not guarantee protection from future infection.
