@me49, Speaking of, this is also true for the P1NP and the CTX blood tests - if rejected, the MD has to be willing to appeal with "medically necessary" --- mine would not so I changed MDsme49 Speaking of, this is also true for the P1NP and the CTX blood tests - if rejected, the MD has to be willing to appeal with "medically necessary" --- mine would not so I changed MDs.

and is your new md prescribing what you want? Not sure but it may be that only FDA investigators can prescribe those tests

Do you know how to check if your insurance company defines those tests as “medically necessary” for your condition? Usually, there is an electronic tool on the insurance portal that allows patients to evaluate the cost (co pays and/or whether certain tests and/or procedures are covered). Just out of curiosity, has your new dr confirmed that he or she believes those tests are medically necessary?

my insurance appeal info states that it’s the patient who needs to appeal. And if the dr doesn’t believe that coverage will be extended—then i am required to file a form accepting medical responsibility
