Good Heavens Moolk!
Surprising your doctor didn't tell you where to go for the JCV index test.
Don't know where you live but here in the midwest Quest Diagnostics does the test you seek. Well, actually they draw the blood and I believe Forest Labs does the testing.
The test is called “Stratify JCV Antibody with Reflex to Inhibition Assay” and costs a little over $1400. Biogen must pick up the tab because I've not heard of anyone being billed; nor their insurance.
So if your doctor writes the script take it to Quest Diagnostics or somewhere that knows the precise test you want.
I would guess almost any lab could send the blood sample to Forest Labs if they knew enough to do so. Quest Diagnostics does. Good luck!
