Cost of Vitamin D test

Categories:

My insurance is denying payment of my Vitamin D test because it's "not medically necessary".  It was ordered by my doctor as part of my last blood panel.  I've long ago met my deductible and all of the rest of the test costs were covered.  Has anyone else dealt with this, and do you have pointers how to appeal?  It is a very expensive test!

In the U.S., a vitamin D test will likely cost you between $15 and $263.

I would be happy to pay $15, mine came back at $250.  That's an out of pocket expense, hoping to get insight on how to get my insurance to pay for it.

your doctor should be the one to argue for you.

He was VERY annoyed to find out that they wouldn't pay stating "that's ridiculous, it costs them pennies to run a vit D test".  He's on it!
