Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 , In response to your question re: IgeneX, The tests must be ordered and signed by a doctor, using the IgeneX form. In my daughter's case, she was seeing a chiropractor/naturopath who was very helpful in getting the test ordered. I think he asked IgeneX to send the forms, because they arrived at his office along with the box to send the tubes of blood back to IgeneX. By the looks of the website now, it appears you can print off the patient request forms and have a doctor order the tests needed. You can go to your local lab to have the blood drawn. They must follow the specific instructions on the form. Your local lab will mail the tubes of blood to Igenex. You'll have to have the blood drawn and sent on the day of the week specified on the form. IgeneX will discard the blood if it arrives too late in the week for accurate testing. Do you have a doctor willing to take the time to read the information on the IgeneX website and order the proper test? One who will do an antibiotic challenge before testing to ensure a more accurate result? If not, search until you do! Igenex: http://igenex.com/Website/# I hope this info has been helpful. The IgeneX website is a great place to go for lots of information. You can email them with questions. When my daughter's test came back positive, I called them and was able to speak to the CEO, Dr. .

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 With the Igenex test you have to pay upfront....then they will send you a receipt that you can send into your insurance company - along with the receipt and papers with coding that Igenex sent to for my insurance comp I also wrote on a paper that I wanted them to consider this lab to be in nexwork because it is a specialty lab and no other in nexwork lab offered these specific testing. Just found out my insurance comp is going to reimburse me 100%.......it is very expensive but well with it!! Also, when my daughter had her labs done at a hospital they wouldn't send in the blood samples with the payment - they didn't want to be responsible for it - so we took it right over to a fex ex place on our own......fyi - with the blood tubes that Igenex sends they also have a overnight bag that comes with it - paid by igenex so you do not have to pay the overnight shipping....I liked that.
