as we all know, we need 2 of our immune subclasses to be low in order to qualify for insurance to cover the gamma globulin. but two things to consider:
1) your IgG subclass numbers can change over time. so if you do not get the test results you want/need the first time, that could change later, over time (how much time, I have no idea).
2) i wonder if your results are not low with one lab, maybe it is still worth trying with another lab -- i.e. if you are from the U.S., it may be worth trying with both Quest and Labcorp labs (the two biggest labs in the U.S.) to see if you get the results you need for insurance coverage of the gamma globulin?
this below link is for the IgG subclass test with Quest Lab:
IgG subclasses (and you get a total with it at Quest).

personally, i did the test with labcorp labs, not quest labs. and i just tried to find the same test at Labcorp. i think this is it, but the URL is very very long! It is LabCorp Test Number: 209601
