Non-Invasive Skin-Based Hemoglobin Measurement

Delaware rates for HCPCS 88738

This test estimates the level of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells, using a sensor placed on the skin instead of drawing blood. It provides a quick, needle-free estimate that can be useful for screening before a procedure or for repeated checks over a short period. Because it is an estimate, results suggesting a significant abnormality are typically confirmed with a standard blood draw.
