73410              Deletion testing of HBA1 and HBA2 for:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               100.00
                   (a) the diagnosis of alpha thalassaemia in a patient of reproductive age:
                   (i) who has abnormal red cell indices; and
                   (ii) for whom thalassaemia screening was suggestive of thalassaemia; and
                   (iii) who does not have a concurrent iron deficiency (or who, irrespective of iron status, is pregnant); and
                   (iv) who has no historic normal cell indices; or
                   (b) the determination of carrier status in a person:
                   (i) who is a reproductive partner of a person with alpha thalassaemia; and
                   (ii) who has abnormal red cell indices; and
                   (iii) who does not have a concurrent iron deficiency; or
                   (c) the determination of carrier status in a person:
                   (i) who is a reproductive partner of a person with alpha thalassaemia and heterozygous 2‑gene deletion; and
                   (ii) who has normal red cell indices
