Tests for Hepatitis B surface antigen and antibodies to determine infection or immunity status. 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. **Clinical use:** 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. ## Who should order it? 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. ## Biomarkers measured - HBsAg - HBsAb - HBcAb ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Labcorp | $59.99 | $65.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | | BioReference (NY & NJ) | $57.99 | $63.99 | New York and New Jersey orders route here automatically | Rhode Island is not served.

No fasting required. ## Related conditions - Acute hepatitis B (B16.9) - Chronic hepatitis B (B18.1) - Hepatitis B carrier (Z22.51) - Liver cirrhosis (K74.60) ## Common questions about the Hepatitis B Test with Confirmation test ### What does the Hepatitis B test include? 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. ### How do I interpret the three-marker result? 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. ### Why does the CDC recommend universal HBV screening? 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. ### How much does a Hepatitis B test cost without insurance? 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. ### What CPT codes are billed? HBsAg: CPT 87340. Anti-HBs (immunity): CPT 86706. Anti-HBc total: CPT 86704. All three appear on the requisition. ### Do I need to fast? No fasting required. Any time of day. ### Should I bundle this with Hepatitis C and a full STI panel? Yes — CDC recommends one-time universal screening for both Hep B and [Hep C](https://www.test-well.com/tests/hepatitis-c-test) in adults. The [STI Comprehensive Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/sti-comprehensive-panel) bundles both with [HIV](https://www.test-well.com/tests/hiv-test), [chlamydia/gonorrhea](https://www.test-well.com/tests/chlamydia-gonorrhea), and [syphilis](https://www.test-well.com/tests/syphilis-test) at a discount. ## How to order 1.
