Genetic Quantification Test For An Unspecified Infection

Maryland rates for HCPCS 87799

A sample is tested for the genetic material of a specific infectious organism using a laboratory technique that measures the quantity of its DNA or RNA present, applied in a situation where no more specific, named test exists for that particular organism. This allows a lab to measure the amount of an infection's genetic material even when a dedicated, organism-specific test hasn't been developed or isn't available.
