They won't cover in-network as IGenix for some reason elects to not accept any insurance.
However, if you have an out-of-network benefit, you can receive some level of reimbursement for the Western Blot (#188 and #189 tests). Coverage will always depend on your individual policy though. You'll have to pay the full cost of the tests up front to IGenix and be reimbursed by your insurer later.
Other tests such as PCR won't be covered 99% of the time. You'd have to call your insurer with the proper CPT-4 codes to determine what is and what is not a covered test.

Seems like there's a big difference depending on the payer!
How much does this test cost?
Thanks all!

Mine was $800 which included the 2 western blots and testing for all co-infections. You might want to just get the western blots to start with.
