![]() And the expensive of the test is not worth the limited, useless results. Again, the only way to have truly accurate results is if the patient is exposed to the substance, thus this test is far from diagnostic in nature. The allergy to Mesquite trees is supported by my allergist pin # test, but the Genova IgE Inhalant profile showed no antibodies, thus no reaction. Another example, I wound up in the emergency room because my sclera swelled up over my pupil because a piece of pollen landed in my eye. Seems to me these tests are very limited. For example, I am allergic (lips swelling, throat closing allergy) to goats milk and the test results came back with a very low allergic reaction. This makes the information difficult to use as a true diagnostic tool. The timing on the draw has to be perfect for allergies or the magnitude of the allergies to appear. So, there are limited conditions in which this information would be helpful. Genova IgG serum food and IgE inhalant profiles are only accurate if the individual has been exposed to the items within the previous 2 weeks before the blood draw.

A few months I told the doctor that recommended them, and she said she would talk to them. But they continue to try to collect this fictitious bill and have called me more than 20 times and have mailed me more than a dozen typed invoices. I explained to them that I paid the quoted price in full in advance, and asked them to stop contacting me. Then I started to receive bills and calls from Genova demanding an additional $350. I received the test results in a couple of weeks. I have credit cards, but I choose to pay for medical procedures in cash in advance because there are a lot of fraudulent practices in the medical billing industry, and I do not trust any such company with my credit card information. $280 (I do not recall the exact amount), payment in full was required prior to the test, so I paid in full with a money order prior to the test. I had a IgG Food Antibody Assessment blood test done by Genova Diagnostics done in June 2015.
