Does anyone know what the cost is of doing lab tests at Igenex without insurance?

which SPECIFIC tests are you interested in?

they have 2 ENTIRE PAGES FULL OF TESTINGS!!!


WESTERN BLOT IGM AND IGG is $190

I have a current price list if you can tell me the names; go to their site and look into the tests they show there, and give me the SPECIFIC names!!


co-infection testing is around $900 - $1000;
FRY labs is half of that cost!

see the newbie package i sent you.

if you don't have one, send me a private message, the 2 people standing by envelop icon and ask me to send you mine ok!

I ACTUALLY HAVE A REALLY GOOD HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY DIDNT PAY FOR ANY OF MY BLOOD WORK THROUGH IGENEX! BUT IT DOES DEPEND ON HOW MANY TEST YOU GET DONE! MINE WAS ABOUT $350, BUT I KNOW THAT THEY CAN GO ANYWHERE FROM $100-$800! IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOUR DOCTOR WANTS TO TEST YOU FOR! DID YOU GET A WESTERN BLOT DONE YET?

I had the western blot test. I thought Igenex was more accurate?

I have excellent insurance as well. It doesnt matter though. Only medicare will cover Igenix. Each co-infection test (bart babesia erch etc.) is 200 dollars and I believe the Lyme is 500

All you need for now is the Western Blot. I would start there and then you can decide later if you want any more.

Yes, the Igenex Western Blot is much more detailed and accurate than the one you had.

You will see by the increased information you receive from Igenex, compared to the test you have already had done.

That is not true. My insurance covered it after I harassed them for 9 months!

Order #188 and 189 .. around $200.

That's all you need right now.

My insurance covered all of our Igenix testing as well

We feel very fortunate that it did judging by the majority of posters having had to pay out of their own pockets

Until that day
