Question 1

i seem to have symptoms of addison's disease, and my husband wants me tested. how painful is it, and is it covered by his tricare prime insurance?

Accepted Answer

Blood test: Talk to your primary care about this and see if he/she agrees that you should be tested for addison's disease.  The workup for this involved blood testing and possible a test called acth stim test.  The pain involved in all of this is just pain from the needle poke for blood tests.  Insurance coverage varies but again similar to other blood tests.

Question 2

can you guys write.referrals? for uk?

Accepted Answer

Not the paper trail: Doctors on HealthTap's U.S. premium services can refer a patient to a specialist or specialty, meaning the doctor is recommending that the patient go see the specialist. The HealthTap doctor is usually not involved with the paperwork required by the patient's medical system or his insurance system. That means a US HMO (or the UK system) is unlikely to go along with a HealthTap doctor's referral.
