I asked the neuro who ordered the tilt table test to have it re-submitted with a different Dx. Originally she used Polyneuropathy. She changed it to Autonomic neuropathy and insurance paid. It was a $1,600 dollar test that now I owe $112 on so that is good.

Default Yeah--
--annoying and wacky how changing the name/coding of the diagnosis can make such a big difference to insurance, isn't it?

Especially as autonomic neuropathy is just a subset of polyneuropathy . . .
