When our first daughter was 3, she was in the lowest tenth percentile of weight for her age. The doctor said that could be an indicator of cystic fibrosis. He also said that our daughter didn't seem at all sick in behavior or appearance, and he never had a cf kid who wasn't observably sick. He said there was a test that could be done to be sure. Our insurance covered it, so we had it done. We learned later that the cost of the test was $800.
If I had high deductible insurance, based on the doctor's discussion and our monetary condition at that time, I wouldn't have had the test done.
