What it is

An ANA test looks for antibodies that target the body's own cell nuclei. It is used as a screening test when a doctor suspects an autoimmune condition such as lupus.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the ANA screen only. The blood draw is often billed separately, and a titer (86039) or tests for specific antibodies after a positive result each have their own charge.
