Test Code: 396

CPT Code(s): 81025

Methodology: Immunoassay (IA)

Clinical Significance: This test is specific for hCG beta subunit and offers sensitivity necessary to detect pregnancy as early as ten days post conception.

Alternative Name(s): Urine Pregnancy Test, Chorionic Gonadotropin, Beta hCG, Urine

Test code: 15090

CPT code(s): 87081

Includes: If culture is positive, identification will be performed at an additional charge, (CPT code(s): 87077 or 87140 or 87143 or 87147 or 87149). Antibiotic susceptibilities will be performed on Group B streptococcus isolates (CPT code(s): 87181 or 87184 or 87186).
