I am 38 and had a sweat test in 1970. Needless to say, those results are long gone. I know it seems kind of strange to have to get a diagnosis after all of these years but I need to have two done to participate in the Aztreanam expanded access program. Insurance may not cover it because I am already being treated for CF. Do any of you newcomers have an idea of what I might have to spend since insurance may not cover it. Also, besides drinking a lot of water, are there other good ways to assure a "good test". Thanks for your replys.

I just looked our daughter's medical billings up (her sweat tests were done in August 2006). The hospital's outpatient department charged $97.25. The CF doctor's office charged $100, plus the office visit, which was a new patient comprehensive so that high cost ($300!) wouldn't apply in your situation. Hope this helps.

Yes, that is very very helpful. I was thinking it would probably be at least less than $200 but don't want to get hit with something "out of this world". You never know what something might cost. Bless your heart! You have two little ones with CF. I bet they are adorable. Hold onto lots of hope for them mom until they are big and strong and can carry the torch. They will be able to some day<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I have lived a wonderful life in spite of this disease. How great things will be for them with all of the new advances.
