Myraid apparently has a policy of not filing claims with insurance companies they feel will not approve your test. In this way, they are stating it is up to THEM to make the desicion and NOT your insurance company as to what is covered. They will insist that they have a "team" of people who are more capable than you of deciding whether or not it should be submitted to your insurance company. The ONLY recourse is for you to pay out f pocket for the test. I received MANY calls asking me what I'd like to do. Everytime stating I would like to submit it to my insurance for approval -they NEVER did. Eveytime telling me, your insurance will deny it, so we won't submit it. After nine months of ther strong-arm tactics and continued refusal to even submit the claim, I gave in and paid the money for the test.
This is WRONG. It is ridiculous and unfair that THEY are making the decision. I would have much preferred a denial from my insurance company which they CLAIM was deinied although I NEVER got a statement of deinal from BCBS. BCBS never had record of it EVER being submitted. Myriad is the only choice for this kind of testing so there is no alternative.They hold all the information and cards and simply want money out of you. There is no patient advocacy, only a desire for you money. I wish I knew their true rate of error in their tests, something I oddly cannot find but am sure it exists.
Good luck if you ever have to work with them. Realizing that you simply must do whatever THEY want you to do will bring about less stress at an already difficult time of discovery. It's their way or the highway. Perhaps a good slogan for them might be -"Testing done our way or just wait and see if you're gonna die".
Kudos to them for making a difficult experience even worse.
