My Dr wanted to do blood work to check my remicade levels and my insurance company is calling it experimental. There is only one lab that takes the blood then they send it to San Diego. Has anyone else had this problem. My insurance pays 100% of the 12,800 cost of the infusion yet doesn't want to cover $200 blood work I just don't understand since I may be having joint pain and a lupus like rash on my face and arms due to a reaction to the remicade. :confused2:
