Rapid Virus Culture With Fluorescent Staining

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 87254

A laboratory test that grows a virus from a patient sample in a small vial of cells spun in a centrifuge, which drives the virus into the cells faster. A fluorescent stain is then used to identify which virus is present, and each virus looked for is billed separately. It gives an answer sooner than a standard viral culture.
