know what man, PM it to me... let me check it out and I will give it to my Endo and see what is covered under my insurance plan.
Thanks, bro
The list I developed mostly using information I gathered on this board and LEF. I a way I think of it as common good.
So I post it right here.
Best it is to do the test at Quest Diagnostics, blood drawn at Quest.
I do it at the day of the shot right before the shot, aiming for minimum T levels.
There are other opinions on this.
It is a large test, it pays to go to Quest few days before test to give them a chance to do their paperwork.
I will post mine ICD-9 codes below.
