Lightbulb according to my lecture source..

The MMA test is more accurate. It measures the "activity" of B12...not just blood levels. She is requesting it now, in all nursing home patients under her care in Oregon. She says it costs about $40. She also said B12 may show up as good level in the blood, but not be active. The MMA is more accurate to see if B12 is being utilized properly.
