What are Heavy Metals?

Heavy metals, like arsenic, lead, mercury, and others,are all around us. They’re in the ground we walk on, in the water we drink, and in the products we use every day. But high levels of most heavy metals are potentially toxic.QLS offers a comprehensive heavy metals panel in-house that helps physicians screen patients for a variety of medical conditions.

Reported: Next day

CPT Code: 83021

Notes: CPT Code = 83021 (83021>1=83021). The initial HPLC screen will quantify Hb-A, Hb-F, Hb-A2, and other hemoglobin variants. Presumed Hb-S by HPLC will undergo confirmation solubility testing for an additional fee. If reflexed, add CPT code 85660. The presence of Hb-variants by HPLC will reflex to electrophoresis, for an additional fee, where other phenotypes can be identified and confirmed. Highly abnormal patterns will be reviewed and interpreted by a pathologist. If reflexed to electrophoresis, add CPT code 83020.
