Costs of tests for making a diagnosis are dependent on the patient problems
1. Antibodies can run anywhere from 120 -240 dollars
a panel should include endomysial antibody IgA, and gliadin testing IgG,
and IGA
2. The process of getting a biopsy involves a doctors visit fee and
endoscopy charges, a pathology charge for the interpretation.
These often are considerable charges and vary by location and insurer.
Real dollar costs can vary 1000-2000 dollars
and maybe higher in some circumstances/places.
Remember price doesnt always reflect value or reliablilty.  Joe Murray
