I hope someone who’s had experience with this test will chime in. I am intrigued and intend to ask my primary for one next month. Does insurance cover it?

I operate assuming I am high risk, since I have had type 1 diabetes for many years and my dad has cardiovascular disease. He’s 84, but has significant intervention since his 60s, including bypass and stents. So, I’m on a statin and have good numbers.

What would you consider doing differently with your situation?

Good morning, Celia16. I have BCBS-Federal (insurance) and the test is not covered. I paid $140 out of pocket. Wow. I paid $140 and my score is 140. Sigh.

All the best to you.
