      I opted to have a needle biopsy for Decisiond -UM testing prior to having the radiation plaque implanted in early May 2014.  

      Can anyone tell me the cost of the testing?  And did you have problems getting insurance to pay for it?

          Castle Bisciences will work with you to get your insurance to cover it, and they don't bill patients for any portion that insurance doesn't cover.

          Insurance / Medicare Coverage
