Additional Tests and Cost:
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA): $10.50
- US Preventive Service Task Force Grade C for Men 55 – 69 years. (Offer or provide this service for selected patients depending on individual circumstances).
- This test looks for PSA, a substance that may be found in high amounts in men with prostate cancer. However, a high PSA level does not always mean that a man has prostate cancer. PSA levels may be high in men with other types of prostate problems.
- Screening offers a small potential benefit of reducing the chance of death from prostate cancer in some men. However, many men will experience potential harms of screening, including false-positive results that require additional testing and possible prostate biopsy; over diagnosis and overtreatment; and treatment complications, such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

- Determination of ABO blood group and Rh type.
- Group and typing of expectant mothers and newborns may indicate potential for ABO hemolytic disease of the fetus/newborn. Rh typing is used to determine Rh immune globulin candidacy for prenatal and postpartum patients.
