HI,
I have pretty good insurance so I was surprised that Anthem denied a request for DPD testing - I'm on 5-FU and the medicals were concerned about some of the side effects, specifically hand foot syndrome. According to Anthem the test is "Investigational and Not Medically Necessary". Reading about the test it seems like it can provide important information. The plan without the results is to do a 20% dose reduction.
Has anyone done DPD testing? Has your insurance approved it or did you have to file a grievance? I'm not sure if its worth pursing -
