Sweat test

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.

My kids' sweat tests were under $100. Insurance negotiated them down to less than $60 each. That was 2002 so I'm sure the cost has changed some.

Sorry for the double post!

As for tips, I'd just dress warmly and walk instead of taking elevators, etc (assuming you are able).
