What it is
This blood test, usually called RPR or VDRL, looks for antibodies the body makes in response to syphilis infection. It is used for screening, including during pregnancy, and gives a reactive or non-reactive result.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the screening test only. The blood draw is often billed separately, and a reactive result leads to a titer (86593) and a confirmation test (86780) with their own charges.
