This is y I love this place ..y'all are far more helpful than MOLTC ..n OHIP ..I looked into it n called my centre n luckily I don't have to pay for it n will get it done at my 1st appt at the hospital
n to think I was about to shell out $98 for it yesterday at the lab I'm glad my instinct kicked in n i waited


I used to submit the Thiamine (B1) to my work insurance company and even they won't cover it now. Pyridoxal Phosphate (B6) is also not covered. Both of those tests had a $50 charge. There was one other that was not covered when I went for my last blood work but I can't remember what it was. It had a $30 charge. I opted not to have the B1 and B6 tested this last time. I may do those every 2 years and submit them to income tax.
