I am saving for the Igenex urine lab test and the first doctor visit because I don't think my isurance will cover it. (plus I hear Igenex doesn't bill insurance). I want to save enough out of my tax refund to start treatment. Insurance will cover meds, but we may fight over doctor visit and lab, so I want to be prepared. I've had to stop working and haven't had enough money to continue looking for answers. Would anyone out there feel comfortable private messaging me an estimated cost of their Igenex charges and approx. doctor visit? I used to work in a lab, so believe me I know how expensive all this is, but I also know I NEED this done. If you don't care, please private message me.
Thanks,

you'll need to call igenex about NEW rates effective 5-05; all went up.

igenex will bill medicare only. You can submi to your insurance company, and some pay some back; my BC/BS paid 343 out of my $180 for 2 western blot IGM & IGG blood tests.

Have you filed for ss diability insurance benefits; see DISINISUES web site MINOUCAT'S disability info in TREEPATROL'S NEWBIE LINKS of 8-9 pages of important links.

I'm flling alsep at pc so ging to qit for now.
