Genetic Test for Herpes Simplex Virus

Oklahoma rates for HCPCS 87529

A laboratory test that detects genetic material from herpes simplex virus, using a technique that amplifies small amounts of viral genetic material so the test can find even a low level of the virus. A sample is typically collected by swabbing an active sore or blister, or occasionally from another affected site. This approach can identify an active herpes infection more sensitively than older culture-based methods.
