Everyone was very kind and knowledgeable , I was thankful I went but now Blue Cross is not paying the claim because the Dr put gum disease on my visit. I went to be tested for leptospirosis because my dogs had it and I wanted to be tested to make sure I didn't have it. My teeth were bleeding because I had a cleaning earlier that day but I didn't know I was supposed to stop my plavix and aspirin. I was tested for lepto but still the Dr should have put the reason for my visit as testing for leptospirosis, not anything about my teeth. I hope your f I ever need AFC again my claim gets filed correctly because now I am out almost $200.00 because he filed it wrong , goodness.

About Folate Testing

Folate Testing, also known as folic acid or vitamin B9 testing, is a diagnostic test that measures the level of folate in the blood. Folate is an essential B-vitamin that plays a crucial role in cell division, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell production. Testing for folate levels helps identify deficiencies that can lead to various health issues.
