Anyone know if you can get your Igenex tests covered by insurance? And if you can how owuld one go about doing that?

I just got my kit today and freaked over the prices, but its all things I want to know... Just can't afford to find out.

Thanks!!!

You pay up front, and then submit to your insurance co. for reimbursement. Unless you happen to have Medicare; Igenex will bill Medicare.

After I submitted mine to my insurance co, I got a check back for part of the cost....it depends on your plan.

I paid up front with a credit card and then sent the bill in to my BC/Bs and they paid part of it as an "out of network" service.

Good luck!

That's what I did. It took 9 mo of my hounding them before they finally paid up!!

Just order test #188 and 189. That's all you need right now. $200
