[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the test done at my OB's office in Dec. before my deductible re-started. I have a family hx so I believe it was covered more than if I did not.  I still had to pay nearly 700 for it but the good news is that the company that does the testing (MYRIAD) calls you if the test is going to cost more than 350 out of pocket AND offers a 24 month no interest payment option.

You got it in your doctor's office?   Wow, I've never heard of this.  For the BRCA?  I was told by my gyn to go to INOVA Fairfax.  There's a pre-"surgery" consultation, then the procedure, then another consultation when the results are back in.  In other words, they treat it like AIDS.  And it was $3000 at the time I was looking to have it done (I'm the poster who got her mother to do it, but she did it only when the breast cancer returned).  My insurance wouldn't cover it.  My information is stale, though.  Has anyone else had it done in the physician's office?  I thought they took a tiny bit of flesh for examination . . . .[/quote]
