title: My doc wants me to have another genotype panel. The HMO will not pay for this test. Last time, it cost my lover and me more than $900 from a lab in California. Do you know of some less costly providers of genotype tests? $900 is a lot of money! And do you have any information on when (if ever) the FDA is going to approve these tests, so the insurance companies will pay for them?
