What it is
A complete blood count (CBC) with differential measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets, and breaks the white cells down into their types. It is used to check for anemia, infection, inflammation and many other conditions.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the automated CBC and differential. The blood draw is often billed separately, and a manual smear review, if needed, can be an extra code.
