Antigen Test For A Specific Infection

Virginia rates for HCPCS 87380

A laboratory test that detects an infectious organism directly in a sample, using antibodies that latch onto part of the organism itself. Because it looks for the organism rather than the body's response to it, a positive result points to infection at the time the sample was taken.
