Normal levels are found in: Non-pregnant women: less than 5 mIU/mL; Healthy men: less than 2 mIU/mL; In pregnancy, HCG level rises rapidly during the first trimester and then declines slightly. The expected HCG ranges in pregnant women are based on the length of the pregnancy. 3 weeks: 5 - 72 mIU/mL; 4 weeks: 10 -708 mIU/mL; 5 weeks: 217 - 8,245 mIU/mL

A quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test measures the specific level of HCG in the blood. HCG is a hormone produced in the body during pregnancy. Other HCG tests include: HCG urine test; HCG blood test -- qualitative; Alternative Names
The NDC is divided into the following segments:

Z32. 01 - Encounter for pregnancy test, result positive. ICD-10-CM.
Definition. A quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test measures the specific level of HCG in the blood. HCG is a hormone produced in the body during pregnancy. Other HCG tests include: HCG urine test.
If the doctor's documentation had just documented, “positive pregnancy test,” the code would be Z32. 01, Encounter for pregnancy test, result positive.
Should the provider specify that the pregnancy is incidental to the encounter, ICD-10-CM code Z33. 1 (pregnancy state, incidental) should be used in place of ICD-10-CM codes O00-O9A.
An hCG level of less than 5 mIU/mL is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25 mIU/mL is considered positive for pregnancy. An hCG level between 6 and 24 mIU/mL is considered a grey area, and you'll likely need to be retested to see if your levels rise to confirm a pregnancy.
There are 2 types of blood tests: Qualitative, which measures whether the HCG hormone is present. Quantitative, which measures how much HCG is present.
The hCG urine test is a qualitative test, which means that it will tell you whether or not it detects the hCG hormone in your urine. It's not intended to reveal specific levels of the hormone. The presence of hCG in your urine is considered a positive sign of pregnancy.

Similarly to LH, FSH, and TSH, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a member of the glycoprotein family and consists of two subunits (α and β chains) that are associated to the intact hormone. 1-7 The α-chains in all four of these glycoprotein hormones are virtually identical, whereas the β-chains have greatly differing structures and are responsible for the respective specific hormonal functions.
1 This assay is intended for the early detection of pregnancy.
If serial monitoring is required, please use the serial monitoring number 480038 to order. This test may exhibit interference when sample is collected from a person who is consuming a supplement with a high dose of biotin (also termed as vitamin B7 or B8, vitamin H, or coenzyme R).
It also influences steroid production. The serum of pregnant women contains mainly intact hCG. Measurement of the hCG concentration permits the diagnosis of pregnancy just one week after conception. The determination of hCG in the first trimester of pregnancy is of particular importance.
