Newborn Skin Bilirubin Screening

Nevada rates for HCPCS 88720

This test uses a small handheld sensor placed against the skin to estimate the level of bilirubin, a yellow pigment that builds up in newborn jaundice. It gives a quick reading without needing a blood draw, making it a convenient way to screen babies for jaundice before deciding whether a blood test is needed. Elevated readings prompt closer monitoring or further blood testing.
