NJH Patients
Hello!
I have an upcoming appointment at NJH for outpatient treatment. I made the appointment upon first hearing about my MAC diagnosis, however...I am not feeling sick in the least! My diagnosis consisted of both CT and sputum positive results. Currently I feel like I should I delay my visit to NJH until when / if I ever feel unwell due to this condition. My kids say go now to nip it in the bud...What to do?

Hello MSK,
I will be going to NJH on May 10 - 19th for my first visit. I’m also on Medicare with Regence Blue Cross as my secondary. I will be interested in knowing what insurance will cover and what they won’t cover.
Hope your visit is going well - I’ll be interested in knowing what all they did.
Respectfully,
Jorja
My visit went well. The only cost i have so far is the gene test because i had a positive sweat test. I chose to pay.
They are very good testing all areas to find why bronchiectasis. Blood work, sweat test, ct, xray and lots of info. Hope this helps.
Good to hear, msk, thank you! Do you mind telling me the cost of the gene test. I have a feeling I’ll need that too. I’ve heard so many wonderful things about NJH and I’m so anxious to get quality care! Thank you again!
Njh has a relationship with the lab for the gene testing. The nurse told us around $250 but haven’t gotten a bill yet.
Hi Jorja. I am going to NJH in two weeks. I'm nervous and excited. I called my insurance group to find out exactly how much it will cost. me. I hope they are right!
Thank you for this information, msk! I appreciate it very much.
Best of luck to you on your visit to NJH😉
Hello there!
I will be at NJH at the end of May, why is the gene testing done?
Hello there, Can you tell me what the sweat test is about? Also did you send in sputum before you arrived? I have an appointment at the end of May and just sent mine in this morning.
My sweat test was positive. Gene test is done to confirm cystic fibrosis or not.
