Test Code USCIS PATENTS ONLY RPR (USCIS PATIENTS ONLY)

Important Note

NOTE to LAB: If AN ORDER SAYS RPR: We cannot just change the test to the Syphilis Screen with reflex. Please call the provider/office to confirm that the change can be made. There are certain situations that an RPR may be needed. See below for options.

1)      LAB4653: Syphilis Screen with Reflex – this is the primary screening test that we offer. 90% of the time, this is what is to be ordered.

2)      LAB4741: RPR (USCIS Patients Only) – this test is for Immigration patients ONLY. This should be indicated on the order, but if not and they specify during the call, this is what is ordered.
