Re: Immune testing at dr. B
I have GHI, so I had to pay about $750. All HMOs are that price, along with any GHI plans (I have a PPO). Other PPOs are less, and I believe BCBS was mostly covered.

Re: Immune testing at dr. B
It depends on what INS plan you have. I have bcbs pop and it's covered

Re: Immune testing at dr. B
i was surprised but mine was fully covered. through reprosource they let you pay a $450 "insurance" fee. if you put it through insurance more than $450 isnt covered, then all you have to pay is $450 and no more. if it turns out they cover more and you owe less than $450, you'll get reimbursed the difference.

Re: Immune testing at dr. B
I'm not sure how that upfront $450 works, I think that's a neg rate for dr b patients or something pending INS but not sure. For
Me w bcbs ppo I didn't have to lay out anything, I was told by reprosource that bcbs ppo is their only in network INS

Re: Immune testing at dr. B
It depends how much he is testing and what insurance you have. I paid $900 initially (incl. both DH & myself). My insurance covered me for that initial testing. But, for some reason they are not covering the repeat testing. Not sure why. I have to keep after them. Though there is cheaper one for $450 (that everyone is talking about) but Oxford didn't fall in that category.

Re: Immune testing at dr. B
I have Aetna and after all the testing with Dr B, i paid about $1,500 out of pocket (and that was with the 'discount' through Reprosource as well)

i have UHC also so i know reprosource uses them out of network with the $450 "insurance." the immune panel is the same as the $900 one, you just pay $450 upfront in the case that your insurance wont cover the full testing.
reprosource is a specialty lab in Massachusetts that the immune bloodwork goes to since dr. B has a unique panel that isnt done by like quest or any of the local labs.

Re: Immune testing at dr. B
Mine was fully covered but its usually 450 if you pay the company upfront...what insurance do you have?
Oh I see, just call your insurance company and ask if they are in your network...
