Transplants: blood test to test for rejection

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!

Thanks so much @scottij 😊
Good info! By the way, your trip sounds wonderful. I love to hear that you had such an exciting travel opportunity to see your son. (It definitely makes me feel like I should start to expand my horizons!) Thank you again for jumping in to help me regarding my Allosure insurance challenge. I am going to reach out to my local nephrologist who suggested the test to see if he may be able to assist too. Welcome back home and keep enjoying!

When I first started. with Allomap, my insurance company denied coverage as well. I called Care DX directly and asked a few pertinent questions and was told that they would never charge a patient for this important blood draw. They also commented on how slow the insurance plans were to pick up the tab for this test.
Now I use both Allomap and Allosure and I don't worry about it.
Perhaps speaking directly to them will ease your mind.
