Test Code CBC Complete Blood Cell Count (CBC) with Differential, Blood

Reporting Name

CBC with Differential, B

Useful For

Screening tool to confirm a hematologic disorder, to establish or rule out a diagnosis, to detect an unsuspected hematologic disorder, or to monitor effects of radiation or chemotherapy

Reflex Tests

Test ID Reporting Name Available Separately Always Performed
DIFFR Morphology Eval (special Smear) No No
PINTP Peripheral Smear Interpretation No No

Testing Algorithm

A morphology evaluation is performed at an additional charge when the automated 5-part differential is invalid or when abnormal results are identified upon microscopic examination.

 

A peripheral blood smear review is performed at an additional charge when pathologist expertise is needed for clinically significant diagnosis.
