The next CBC test will be done on day of bone marrow biopsy which is this coming Wednesday. Then I think the hematologist will do it again on 08/24 when we see him to discuss bone marrow biopsy.
My hubby is trying to make the insulin adjustments to the high sugar but so far no luck. I remember him having the same issue the first time when they put him on it right after txplant. He was taken off right before discharge and put back on when dealing with the CMV recurrence. Then off when switched to Everolimus. Will speak with home neph or endocrinologist if still not able to control blood sugar.
So the test is called CareDx Allosure? Is it considered an Rx like a drug Rx? I will ask the benefits CSR to see if it’s covered under our insurance.

I am pretty sure the Allosure test will be billed to your insurance company as a diagnostic test.
If your insurance company won't cover it, maybe ask them which alternative test they will cover since there are a few tests on the market that pretty much give similar information regarding risk of organ rejection.
Sometimes doctors and insurance companies prefer one test over another.
