|---|---|---|---|
| HAVAB | Hepatitis A Total Ab, w/Reflex, S | Yes | Yes |
| HBAG | HBs Antigen, S | Yes | Yes |
| HBAB | HBs Antibody, S | Yes | Yes |
| CORAB | HBc Total Ab, w/Reflex, S | Yes | Yes |
| HCV | HCV Ab Screen, S | Yes | Yes |
Reflex Tests Lists test(s) that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial test(s)

Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
Confirmatory testing will be performed at an extra charge on all reactive hepatitis B surface antigen prenatal specimens as well as all other reactive specimens that have a signal-to-cutoff ratio (S/CO) of < or =50.0.
Specimens with an S/CO of >50.0 that are not prenatal specimens do not require confirmation.
If hepatitis Bc antibody total is positive, then hepatitis Bc antibody IgM is performed at an additional charge. If hepatitis A antibody total is positive, then hepatitis A antibody IgM is performed at an additional charge.
