My husband had it done last year. My CF doc wrote up a lab slip for him and he got blood drawn. The results took a few weeks, but it tested for 90% of the mutations of CF and cost about $300. My insurance company actually paid for it!

I believe my doctor said you could test for 95% of the mutations of CF for an extra $200. I was already pregnant at the time, so we didn't bother.
