MELISA Testing
"MELISA is a blood test for the diagnosis of metal allergy. It is used worldwide by healthcare professionals to determine whether a patient is hypersensitive to metals commonly used in dental restorations or medical implants. Further test applications include the diagnosis of Lyme disease." -http://www.melisa.org/about/
We offer medical consultations to determine if MELISA testing is right for you. Initial consultations are one hour in length and cost $250 without insurance. We accept Medicare, Aetna, UnitedHealthCare, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, and Cigna.
After the initial consultation, we provide you with a MELISA testing kit. The blood is sent to Invitablab in Germany. We will then follow up with you three weeks after the blood draw to discuss the results.
If you are a resident of the Bay Area, please review the MELISA for Bay Area Residents sheet. If you are not a resident of the Bay Area, please review the MELISA for Out of Area Residents. Please also review the Medication and MELISA sheet which contains a list of medications to avoid before the testing process.
If you'd like to schedule a consultation, please download and complete the MELISA questionnaire provided below. We will need this information before we schedule your appointment. All completed questionnaires can be emailed to info@mdiwellnesscenter.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
