| MCC | Maternal Cell Contamination, B | Yes | No |
Testing Algorithm
Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
For prenatal specimens only: If amniotic fluid (nonconfluent cultured cells) is received, amniotic fluid culture will be added and charged separately. If chorionic villus specimen (nonconfluent cultured cells) is received, fibroblast culture will be added and charged separately. For any prenatal specimen that is received, maternal cell contamination studies will be added.
