Hi All, I have a question about testing. I have GHI and have finished all my testing Nov 05. Was denied due to no 6 month supervised diet. Finished that in Sept. paperwork was sent back in. So here is my question does the testing have an experation date? If there is a problem and with approval and I run into November will I have to redo all of the tests? Thanks for the help

It depends...some tests like EKG, Chest X-rays, are only good for a month or so...other tests maybe good for a year or longer if they were clear.

I have Lipedema and Lymphedema. I also have a passion for Obesity and Health Insurance Advocacy

Check with your doc, but she's correct.  Some tests are good for longer, but really they want something recent.
