Red Blood Cell Antibody Identification

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 86870

This blood bank test identifies specific antibodies against red blood cells that are present in a person's blood, using a panel of reference cells to pinpoint which antibody or antibodies are involved. It is typically performed after a screening test shows that such antibodies are present. Identifying the exact antibody helps ensure that any blood given in a transfusion is compatible and safe.
