Guest guest Posted January 10, 2000 Report Share Posted January 10, 2000 Hi Carol, Funny, Aetna USHC approved this test for me, but due to the facility being closed for the Xmas holiday, my coverage ran out with them, so my poor doctor's office has to start all over with Prudential to get this one approved. Now I am a bit frightened, wondering how serious this problem is???? Oh well. Please keep me posted on your progress with this test or the Spect scan. Glad to help your friend in SC, hope she finds some help from the info I provided. Hugs, Marta > From: EJFisch@... > > > >> > Marta, Pet Scan is very good, also very expensive.
