I believe there may be some confusion with your request. CPT code 86695 is a blood test that detects antibodies to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1), rather than a procedure called "Herpes I." This test helps determine if you've been exposed to or infected with HSV-1, which commonly causes cold sores around the mouth. Your doctor might order this test if you have symptoms suggestive of herpes infection, want to know your infection status, or for screening purposes, and the test simply involves a blood draw.
