After my most recent visit to the neurologist, he had them draw blood for tests, one of which turned out to be a "semi-quantitative" covid antibody test. I got the remarkably uninformative automated test results the same day, and am still trying to find out what this test means.

I have now sent three messages through MyChart, and left one phone message asking him to call me about this, and heard nothing. This time, I included the (irritating) point that I know what the test is going to cost me, but not what I'm getting for that money.


I'm following up on my test results from last month. When I saw a doctor at my primary care practice last week, she said that I might need an additional dose of the vaccine -- that is, three plus the booster, for a total of four -- because the MS meds might make me immuno-compromised.

That semi-quantitative test result looks like it might help us figure out whether I need that fourth vaccine dose. So far, all I have gotten is the uninformative automated results, and a note from my health insurance company of how much I'm going to be charged for the test.

Please, what does the "<1" test result mean, and how does this test relate to my care?


I've been happy with the actual office visits (this was the second), and he did respond to my earlier query about the MRI results, but this is more than a little annoying.
