JuliaFaith Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Personally we have not done this but it seems quite a few on this forum are, so thought this might be interesting. Someone said they had IVIG covered after doing this test. The article does seem more related to ASD but has some interesting observations.Anne Connolly--"This lab tests for antibodies to brain endothelial cells. If positive, it indicates an inflammatory response in the brain."Http://www.icdrc.org/documents/Anne Connolly article 1.pdf Edited April 8, 2013 by JuliaFaith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Good info thanks. Does anyone know if medicaid approves IVIG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklemama Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 At least one state I know pays for IVIG thru Medicaid. That is Ohio. However, I doubt that PANDAS is mentioned in the diagnosis. THE most important thing when trying to get IVIG approved is to NOT mention PANDAS. We've been very fortunate to have two paid for with our BCBS insurance BUT the diagnosis is post infectious encephalitis NOT PANDAS. DS does not have any immune deficiencies.
