Clongen Lab

[philamom]

A paraffin block obtained from a biopsy of my daughter's endoscope & colonoscopy is being sent to Clongon Lab for testing. Has anyone received reimbursement from insurance with this lab? thx

I don't have personal experience with this lab, but I thought to mention there is info on it, at the better health guy website, he gives feedback on various labs and their profile. I think Clongon is fairly new.

Thank you.

 

A little discouraging, as he says "more and more I've heard discussion that many of the tests from Clongen have come back negative". I guess I'll just have to trust Dr. J's judgement on using this lab for the parifin testing. He doesn't use them for my daughter's blood tests. I hope I get some coverage because the cost of the testing is $695. So far I've been pretty fortunate in getting reimbursed with other labs.
