Responses (5) Hi Rutvij, vitamin D deficiency sure can cause pain and havoc with our bodies. I also had the same problem, but my doctor had me take a prescription vitamin D, once a week, at 50,000 IU's. If you take too much it can be toxic and cause problems as well as a deficiency.
A new LCD for Vitamin D testing is on the horizon, and has just completed the comment period at Administar. The policy is anticipated to become effective July 1, 2009. The proposed list of covered diagnoses for this testing is very limited. No Vitamin D testing done as a screening will be covered under this new policy. The laboratory currently receives orders for approximately 800 Vitamin D tests per month. Medicare patients for whom you order Vitamin D testing will be directly impacted by this new policy.
