General

How long will it take for my test kit to arrive?

5-7 business days after you complete your registration. Please contact us if you do not receive your kit after 7 business days. Please remember, the kit will be shipped by Myriad Genetics®. And, if you ordered both carrier and cancer kits, they will arrive separately.

General

Will genetic testing be covered by my insurance?

jscreen’s upfront costs include a program fee ($10) and a physician order fee ($39) which jscreen collects when you sign up. 

There are also lab fees for your genetic test(s). If you select to pay for your test(s) through insurance, Myriad Genetics® will contact you via email and/or text to let you know your estimated out of pocket cost. 

Your estimate will consider: 

  • Your insurance plan
  • How much of your deductible has been paid so far this year
  • Any copays or coinsurance
  • Eligibility for financial assistance

You will receive an email/text from Myriad Genetics® notifying you that your estimate is ready to view. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU OPEN THIS EMAIL. Most people who meet criteria for testing will pay $0 additional out-of-pocket, but if your estimate shows you’ll have an out-of-pocket cost that creates a hardship, you have options which will be provided to you by Myriad Genetics®.

Cancer Screening

If I have a mutation, will my children have it too?

Each child (regardless of gender) of a parent with a cancer gene mutation has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutation. Your genetic counselor can discuss the right time to test your children, as well as options for individuals who are planning to expand their families.
