How It Works?

Our simple 4-step process allows for a fast
turnaround to receive your results.

Step 1

Click "See If I Qualify" on the Genetic Test you’re interested in and fill in your information on our secure form so that we can run your benefits to determine whether or not your insurance will cover you for Genetic Testing.

Step 2

Upon approval by your insurance, we will contact you to review all your information and get your consent to reach out to your Primary Care Physician so that he/she can make a Medical Necessity judgment based on the information provided.

Step 3

Once we receive consent from your primary care physician we will ship out our non-invasive cheek swab to your home with detailed instructions on how to conduct the test and mail it back to our laboratory.

Step 4

We process your sample at our laboratory and return the results to you and/or your primary care physician. Our genetic counselor will then call you to discuss your results and any findings that may have appeared.

YES, IT'S REALLY THAT SIMPLE!

Still Have Questions?

Here are just a few of the things people frequently ask us. If you don't
see your question here, feel free to get in touch with us.

Will it cost me anything?

We work with your insurance providers to determine whether or not your benefits will cover diagnostic testing. Typically, if you have the required coverage, you will have little to no out of pocket cost.

In the event your insurance plan does not cover diagnostic testing, we offer a cash pay price. This price varies depending on which test you take and the genes/panel your Primary Care Physician orders. If you wish to take the test, but your PCP does not see it as Medically Necessary, unfortunately, we can not accept payment or run this test for you. It can only be ordered by your PCP.

If you would like to discuss the cash pay option, feel free to call our office on 561-829-5383 and one of our customer support specialists will guide you through this process.
