Just saw this on 60 Minutes - Myriad OWNS the BRCA1 & BRCA2 Genes. Unbelievable!

Susan--

I find it odd that your insurance did not pay for the testing performed by Myriad--especially if they pd. for your surgery. Did you file an appeal? Also is it an insurance exclusion or an employer exclusion. Most of the time denials/exclusions are pointed at the insurance company when it is actually the employer that has excluded that portion of the plan--often to reduce premiums. If it is an emloyer exclusion it can not hurt to apporaoch your employer to see if they would reimburse you and if not, at least add it to the plan for future candidates.
