Did You Insurance Pay For Entero Lab Testing?

[Hopefulmama]

Just wondering if this is something that most insurance would reimburse you for. I have Blue Cross. Any experience with them?

I have Blue Cross PPO and they paid 80-90% of my bill... Good luck!

I have BCBS PPO also. Where do you find the information for that? If they would pay 80-90% of mine, I might spring for the test.

Mine didn't. I have HealthPartners (in Minnesota). I spent a good amount of time trying to explain why an allergist would not be able to help me to the lady on the phone (this is after calling several allergists in the area and having none of them have a clue what I was talking about when I said food intolerance) so I gave up. I was just getting casein testing, though, which isn't as expensive as gluten.

If you are concerned about having a gluten intolerance diagnosis on your medical records, though, I wouldn't try to get reimbursed. If I had tested positive for casein, I wouldn't have asked for reimbursement if I was eligible.
