Cheapest place to get sema right now? Price keeps going up — need advice

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

Dr.PeteFamMed said:

Insurance update relevant to cost and coverage: I just got my prior auth approved through Anthem after 2 attempts.

Coming at Dr.PeteFamMed’s question from a different direction. There is a difference between no evidence and evidence of no effect, and this subject is one where the two get swapped freely in both directions.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.

One thing that is still open after Dr.PeteFamMed’s answer:

What did you change at the same time, and can you separate the two now?

Moderator note: leaving this open. It is being argued well and the disagreement is the useful part. No action needed from anybody.
