This test evaluates your Hepatitis B status by checking for the surface antigen (active infection), surface antibody (immunity from vaccination or past infection), and core antibody (past or current infection). It can determine whether you're infected, immune, or need vaccination. Hepatitis B can cause chronic liver disease and is preventable with vaccination.
Comprehensive Hepatitis B screen with confirmation: surface antigen (active infection), surface antibody (immunity), and core antibody (past or chronic infection). Distinguishes active, resolved, vaccinated, and chronic carriers.
Universal screening for all adults at least once per CDC 2023 guidance, all pregnant women, anyone with elevated liver enzymes, hemodialysis patients, healthcare workers checking immunity, anyone from high-prevalence regions.

A Hepatitis B Test with Confirmation test costs $59.99 at TestWell — $65.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. Ordered directly from the labs' own consumer sites, the closest equivalent lists at $99.00 at Quest Health (list prices checked Sep 12, 2026; see the notes on how the products differ). Hospital outpatient labs typically bill around $250.00 self-pay for the same test, and often more. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.

Three components: HBsAg (surface antigen = active infection), Anti-HBs (surface antibody = immunity from vaccine or resolved infection), Anti-HBc total (core antibody = past or chronic infection). Together these distinguish active infection, chronic carrier, resolved infection, and vaccine-induced immunity.
HBsAg+ / Anti-HBc+ / Anti-HBs-: active infection. HBsAg- / Anti-HBc+ / Anti-HBs+: resolved past infection (lifelong immunity). HBsAg- / Anti-HBc- / Anti-HBs+: vaccinated and immune. All three negative: never exposed, not vaccinated. HBsAg+ for >6 months: chronic carrier — needs hepatology follow-up.
Up to two-thirds of chronic HBV carriers don't know they're infected and can transmit the virus or develop cirrhosis / liver cancer silently. The 2023 CDC update recommends at least one screening for all adults 18+, recognizing that the previous risk-based approach missed many cases.
On TestWell, Hepatitis B (HBsAg + Anti-HBs + Anti-HBc) is $59.99. Quest Direct lists the same panel at $99, walk-in hospital labs typically bill $180-250 without insurance.
HBsAg: CPT 87340. Anti-HBs (immunity): CPT 86706. Anti-HBc total: CPT 86704. All three appear on the requisition.
