I hope this is helpful

When I was pregnant I qualified for "free" insurance/Medicaid but that was prior to me getting a promotion and getting a raise--now I make too much money, so they say or think.
Julie,
Where can I find this information about my insurance? My dr has req pa but it was denied because my insurance states NO EXCEPTIONS. My personal email is blcoff@express-scripts.com if you want to email me or just repost how I can find this information I would love to forward it to you to hopefully find a loopwhole.
Chris,

IN some states the state ins. is wonderful and in others it sucks.... I'm sorry you arne't still on it for your child so you can get the tests! Ahhh life.
What is your ins. company's name? Do you have a group/policy number? There are a few places you can get specific information. One woudl be online, another would be to call and request a book on your benefits. Do you have a health benefits coordinator at work? If so, I would talk to them also.
I'm willing to help you out, I'm on vacation this week and have some free time when the babies sleep. I'll also read through what chris found and see if I can pull out some excerpts from it that would be useful in getting your ins. company to cover it.
The "no exceptions" statement has me wondering, are you aware of how your ins. companies appeals process works? Every company is different, but many times there are "higher ups" who can make executive decisions that defy the rules and regulations. I would FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.
Let me know what help you need, and if you feel more comfortable sending the ins. info via email, feel free to email me at division902@hotmail.com or PM me.

Here are some other options for some testing, which may open the door in convincing the ins. company that genetic testing in your case is necessary. What about:
1. Nasal mucosal potential difference (PD)
2. chest X ray (to look for damage)
3. exocrine pancreatic function testing
4. rectal PD (potential difference
