Chromosome Marker Test On A Larger Cell Sample

Alabama rates for HCPCS 88275

This laboratory test uses a fluorescent DNA probe to look for specific chromosomal changes within individual cells under a microscope, examining a larger number of cells than a more limited version of the same test. Looking at more cells increases the confidence of the result, particularly when the change being looked for is present in only a fraction of cells. It is commonly used in the diagnosis and monitoring of certain blood and other cancers.
