What toxins can I get a blood test for, that health insurance will cover? I know that lead is usually covered, but what else?
Chem-Free
Dear Chem-Free,
As long as the test is medically necessary, it would generally be covered by health insurance. The test would need to be related to symptoms you were having, or be a screening for potential illness, such as high cholesterol.
The other factor would be that the test would have to be done by a covered provider. The provider isn’t necessarily on the plan’s “network”, but would need to be a licensed physician, nurse, etc. So for example, a Chinese medicine healer performing the test would not be covered.
