Here's a message from my soon-to-be dietician:
The start of the new test has been moved to mid-Nov (no exact date)
Makes sense to wait. As for cost, as of Sept 1 I've started doing the MRT testing as part of a package only. You contacted me before then so am happy to honor an "a la cart" approach.
At the moment the MRT test is $350. When I checked on the new test last Fri I asked about any potential price increase and didn't receive an answer. Will let you know as soon as I know something. Will be at a professional conference in a couple of weeks where I will see the lab staff in person so will ask.
My hourly rate is $125. If you look at my website, www.susanmoorerd.com , you'll see that usually the first appt is $150 as it is 90 min. For clients who know they want the MRT I have found I only need an hour to get things started so charge accordingly.
The package which includes the 1 hr initial appt, the test and a total of 60 min of follow-up time is $500, so you save $50 overall.
As for a g-i doc I do not have one that I recommend as it has been hit/miss. Surprisingly get more referrals from gen practitioners and gyns. I've not asked colleagues in a few months, so let me send a note out and see if there is a new person or two in town.
Look forward to meeting you -
New MRT test not available until November
