Re: DNA test not covered by MDA/insurance coverage renewal

[Guest guest]

So far my insurance hasn't dropped me BUT the MDA clinic just did the DNA test

on me and billed them just to see IF they would pay any which I already know

they won't. Also my Dr's. put CMT on my charts and ordered the Neurontin. So

far so good. Renewal will be coming up soon so we shall see what happens.

Waiting on results of DNA still.

May I ask why your insurance won't cover at least 80% of the costs? I

thought the same thing especially since the lab was out of state. Turns out

since I

had no say (neither did the doctor) in which lab the testing was being sent

to they paid all but a few hundred dollars. Which I breathed a sigh of relief

since the total came to close to $7000.

Yes the test is thru Athena but MDA said they were covering all of it. I

recieved a patient advocate letter from Athena and they asked for 156.00 is all

but MDA had me fax that info to them and not to even think about it again. Sure

an anxious to see what happens.

My husband's ork insurance renews every 2 years and at that time they drop or

cancel.
