Hi, I am new to this site but I have learned so much and find that so many of you have so much knowledge. First thing is that my dr has req my insurance to cover a genetic test for CF and my insurance has denied the request stating that they do not cover genetic testing NO EXCEPTIONS---this has frustrated me beyond belief as my daughter is not a good sweater and this is the only way to get a yes or no answer and I can not afford the test.

My question is this,does anyone know of any way to get assistance with these kinds of tests. I am over the income threshold to qualify for state assistance so they will not help me. Do any of the company that do the test offer financial assistance or maybe a financial payoff program to have the test done?

Any assistance would be great, and please dont be mistaken---my dr is pushing hard but my insurance has denied 2 times already and I have another infant that I am also trying to raise while trying to pay for the meds my dr has put her on for now that my insurance will not give me for the lower copay until we have a CF diagnosis for sure and I am a single mother. Thank you for listening!!!

Hi,
My son was diagnosed last week with CF. Since then, one of my sisters found a place on the cystic fibrosis site that offerred the test for 150.00.
Since she is intending on using it......I will find out where she found it if you want.

In australia we can phone our c/f foundation and get financial help once a year on most
stuff pertaining to c/f (food vouchers, nebulisers, flutter ect...)
