If you don't mind me asking how much does the test cost out of pocket?

Mine was $321 for the first hole punch, $190 for the second hole punch, $558 for the immunochemistry analysis, and $1930 for the nerve analysis. I was seen at UW Hospital and they do all their biopsy analysis in-house unlike many hospitals that send their samples to Therapath.

My insurance contributed some money for the immunochemistry and the hole punches but won't contribute to the nerve analysis. I wish UW would have consulted with me first before they plowed ahead and did the testing. I will eventually pay them what I owe them, but I'm holding their feet to the fire a little bit and have asked them to explain to me as to why this wasn't a conversation up front.

Wow!! That's some serious $$$ for them not to fully disclose everything up front.
