Hi @scottij 😊
Happy New Year and I hope all is well! I remember you mentioned that in the beginning you had some challenges getting the health insurance company to pay for your CareDx Allosure blood tests. Well, it looks like my insurance company is rejecting coverage too. Do you remember how you finally got the test approved? Did your doctor get involved or did you supply certain documentation, or something else? It looks like I need to begin the appeal process and I would love to know your process since you had some success.
Many thanks!!

Hello @hello1234 !

I really did not do much. I was notified by my nurse team that insurance may not approve but they would handle it. I then got a letter from Mayo reassuring me that I would not be responsible. And if they could not resolve it they would "write it off" I did ask how they were going to approach it and they said that the Care DX test was safer than surgery to get samples for analysis. I think that is the approach they used.

I just returned home from Bahrain, island nation in the Persian Gulf where my son is stationed in the Navy. Wonderful trip though I was totally masked during air travel.

Best always,
s!
