Coverage for Hepatitis B titers testing

Has anyone had their Hepatitis B titers done to see if the Hepatitis B vaccine/s took? My gastro ordered the titers on my son's blood work with many other things she was checking. He is about a year since diagnosis and gluten free. My insurance did not cover the Hepatitis B titer bloodwork saying it was not medically necessary. It was explained to me by my gastro that many times the Hep B vaccine does not take in patients with untreated celiac. My son was untreated at the time of the vaccines. Anyway my gastro said this was a standard blood test she ordered. I am going to appeal to my insurance. If anyone else has gone through this I would love your insight. Thanks

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
