Re: Testing for CAH for other family members

You may find your insurance plan covers genetic testing (most easily) under it's "family planning" section. Our son was diagnosed at birth with CAH. Long story, but I had some doubts as to whether he really had CAH. Our insurance covered 100% of genetic testing to identify congenital conditions where necessary for family planning. Because Dex is a treatment option during a pregnancy, testing for CAH was covered. Prior to having the genetic test, we had to meet with a genetic counselor. Hope that helps.
