As a former Medicare fraud investigator i will share my perspective……physicians are under intense scrutiny….if they order non-standard tests they can end up being investigated for abusive billing practices

If you want an atypical test and your dr refuses, you have a couple choices: 1. go to a dr who you know if prescribing it with some level of frequency or 2. offer to pay out of pocket

@elisabeth007, they really ought to standardize some of these tests, IMO. Thanks for weighing in - I'm sure you are right.
