Before I have Bravo meter implanted (to measure acid) which requires another endoscopy, I’d like to have the transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) or the 24 hour ph-Impedance test. Unfortunately I cannot track down an ENT who performs these tests. Any advice on how to find? Keep reaching dead ends.
Thank you!

The bravo is simple accurate and easy. If you are approved for it Do it!! Technology makes it so much easier. Most insurance companies cover it and may require it before moving on to other solutions

My experience is that you have to be referred to a hospital that does this. I am insured with kaiser and they don't do it but they will give me a referral to a hospital that does this. I don't know if this helps at all. I was waiting to have this done but we travel a lot and each time they called me we were away even though I gave them the dates. It is frustrating trying to get this done plus I dread it because I don't think it is very pleasant at all.
