Heptimax Test, Post -tx CBC
by bunkywoo, Sep 14, 2003 12:00AM
Hi Everyone:
Went to get my 6 month post-tx Heptimax test but the hospital I go to told me that they do not do it. Now I have to go to a Quest laboratory for it (several in the area so not a problem). I was wondering if anyone had any problem with the insurance companies paying for this test and if this is standard that some hospitals don't do the test.
Also, wondering if most dr's do post-tx CBC, Alt/Ast tests. Mine hasn't since I quit tx. Just for my own peace of mind had him write me another script to get those done too. Other than that have lots of energy and feeling great. Hope it's a good indication!
Good luck to everyone and you are all always in my thoughts.
