What it is

This blood test looks for antibodies to the hepatitis C virus, which show a past or current infection. It is the usual first step in hepatitis C screening, which is recommended at least once for adults.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the antibody test only. The blood draw is often billed separately, and a positive result needs a hepatitis C RNA test, which has its own code and price.
