WOW Thanks all. I live in Virginia, so I should have thought of
going through the Government.   <br>
Amy I am sorry about the font, I just used what popped up, so I
hope this works, and thanks to ..?.. for changing the font for
me. <br>
I am not too worried about her staying insured.  She just
turned 17 and can stay on our insurance as long as she is in school
(or 25 which ever comes first), and she plans on going
locally, living at home and getting her masters degree in
Psych..it will be a while before that problem gets here, but thanks
anyway. (Our son is 20 and going to Med school next year so I
already checked insurance out)  <br>
The sweat test was given at one of the Hospitals here, but was
ordered through the local pulmo Dr.  It is not a CF clinic
though. There is a CF affiliated Doctor there, but it is
basically just an asthma office.  My son's asthma was taken
care of there.  <br>
Yes, I am appealing the last refusal I got today!  I really do
not know if it is CF or not, but I need to know so she can get the
best possible care.<br>
Thanks again.......  Debbie<br>

someone, cant remember who,suggested to their insurance that the cost of the genetic test would be far less than the thousands they would pay out for any treatment in the future. Of course this was about their baby, but i think the same principal applies. Oh , and it done the trick, the insurance paid for the test.

Also ive looked for questions on here directed to the sponsors who answer them weekly, cant find where they are, someone help me here, but I read one recently say to someone that they can help if its a case of money issues, in what way, I'm not to sure, but the impression I got was that they could waive part of the fee.

Hope I have helped , even in a small way, Hey it all adds up.
