What it is
This blood test measures the exact level of hCG, the hormone made during pregnancy. It is used to confirm early pregnancy, to follow how the level changes over a few days, and to check for problems such as a possible miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
What the price covers
The price usually covers one hCG measurement. The blood draw is often billed separately, and each repeat test is a separate charge.
