Will genetic testing be covered by my insurance?
Your cost for screening depends on several factors, including your insurance plan and any copay or unmet deductible. More than 80% of individuals pay $0.00 out-of-pocket.
Once the lab receives your test order, you will be sent a personalized cost estimate letting you know what your insurance is likely to cover, what your additional out-of-pocket costs are expected to be, and what your options are.
If you do not have insurance coverage or you have a high unmet deductible, you can choose to forgo insurance and opt for the self-pay price of $249.00 for your test. If you cannot afford testing, there are financial assistance programs available for those who qualify.
