Enterolab Paid For By Insurance-yay!

Hi!

I just thought I would let you know I sent in my Enterolab bill to my insurance thinking they'd never pay as it was not requested by my doctor and, Yay!, they just sent me a check for close to the whole amount. Bill: $389, insurance: paid all but $39. I'm very happy about that and I hope it may encourage others to give Enterolab a try.

Lucky Duck! :rolleyes:

Mine wouldn't pay a red cent! :angry:

Nor would they pay for my ELISA test or even my saliva test which WAS ordered by a doctor!

Insurance is nothing but a racket! :ph34r:

Kathy Ann,

I'm sorry and I AGREE! It IS a racket- I've always had to fight with every private insurer I've ever had- Mutual of Omaha, Aetna, Blue Cross- to get a claim through. I guess maybe I finally have a fairly decent company through my school system. I'm so used to fighting with them, this just took me by surprise! My kids' dad and I spent four years with NO insurance because we just couldn't afford it (he's a lobsterman-middlemen make all the money, in case anyone is wondering) and we had two kids. I guess Enterolab is a gamble for this reason. There's so much work to do before healthcare is affordable in this country!

Thanks for writing,

lisa

Vincent,

Ironically, it's Anthem Blue Cross through my school department and I must say I have never had to fight with them. Of course, they do take about a jillion dollars out of my paycheck! But , as I age and with two teenagers, I guess it's worth it!

Because of serious illness, we are hostages of our insurance company. If we try to change to another better company, they would never insure us. That's another reason why I don't plan on seeking an official diagnosis of celiac if it can be avoided.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
