I wasn't given a specific location by my doctor so I'm assuming the one I picked will know what test I'm there for? The doctor didn't give me any paperwork for it. I set up an appointment on Quests website, earliest available at any of the dozens of locations near me was Thursday afternoon, and I selected "all other tests" as the appointment type. The prior authorization was apparently just started yesterday(on a Sunday?) and will take about 2 weeks so I may not hear from that person for a while. We didn't do any bloodwork before I started on Skyrizi, they just asked for a TB test, which I get done annually at work so I just emailed over a copy. So apparently I am supposed to go to Quest on my own, without any prompting from anyone? I had no idea. So today, having not heard anything else and expecting to have heard something about something, I messaged the doctors office. She said she was sending the request to Quest and that I would hear from their person that does prior authorizations and I was given no further instructions other than she wants a follow up done in 2 months. I can't recall the exact test she wants done, but it was something to check because I've been on the biologic for a year now(see note at bottom of post). Not seeing expected results so I'm being switched to Cosentyx, but first she wants lab work done.
So I visited my dermatologist on 9/6, 1 year since starting on Skyrizi for plaque psoriasis on my feet.
