Blood Compatibility Test - Incubation Method

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 86921

This laboratory test checks whether a unit of donor blood is safe to give to a specific patient before a transfusion. It mixes a sample of the patient's blood with the donor blood and allows extra time for the mixture to react, which helps catch certain antibodies that take longer to show up than a quick check would.
