@hello1234, I'm glad you're improving with BK and hoping your next lab shows BK clear. I do wish you'll able to go back to your pre BK meds. The provider looked at hubby's lab today and says 1 more undetected CMV then he can "either go back to Myfortic or start Sirolimus". Hopefully this week's labs will be available before our appointment next week. Where do you get your labs done? Hubby goes to Quest Diagnostics and lately it's been taking about 2 weeks to get lab results! Used to be able to get results in 1 week. The one disadvantage of getting a transplant out-of-state is that you're not able to use your transplant center to do weekly labs once you're back home.
No resolution from billing issue yet. I'm waiting to see how Billing is going to process upcoming claims. Our insurance says Billing needs to submit the claim properly(claims need to go to the local Blue Shield Blue cross office to the provider which is Arizona not Calif). Meantime, Billing says they're not doing anything wrong and the issue is between we and our insurance! I'm going to have to call our insurance and let them work it out with Billing if any issues with upcoming claims. Ugh!!!

Hi @caretakermom 😊
I use Labcorp for my blood and urine tests. Normally, I have my test results back in a week. I am surprised to hear that Quest Lab results are now taking two weeks. That's a long time to wait for results. (I wonder if they are short staffed or what is happening).
Regarding billing, I was also told that the claim should always be sent to the local Blue Cross office for payment. Hopefully, your new claims will be processed with no problem.
Please keep post with how everything goes with hubby's doctor appointment about Sirolimus. I will keep you posted next week on the status of my BK viral load. I am hopeful that we will both have good news to share!
