Unit Code 84376:
Plasma Cell Labeling Index (PCLI) Profile

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Establishing a diagnosis of a plasma cell proliferative disorder

 

Distinguishing overt MM from MGUS and smoldering MM

 

Providing independent prognostic information for MM as a measure

of disease activity

Profile Information A profile is a group of laboratory tests that are ordered and performed together under a single Unit Code. Profile information lists tests performed, inclusive of the test fee, when a profile is ordered and includes reporting names and individual availability.

 Unit Code  Reporting Name  Available Separately  Always Performed 
 84378   Plasma Cell Labeling Index (Flow) No Yes
 84379   PCLI No No

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)

 Unit Code  Reporting Name  Available Separately  Always Performed 
84380 PCLI Consultant No No

Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

When the labeling index is > or =0.4, #84380 "Plasma Cell Labeling

Index Consultant," a pathologist review of slides, will be performed

at an additional charge.
