is genetic testing covered by insurance
Genetic testing typically is covered by health insurance when recommended by the patient's doctor. For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs for genetic testing typically would consist of doctor visit and laboratory copays. Some covered patients choose to pay out of pocket for testing due to concerns about genetic discrimination . For patients not covered by health insurance, genetic testing cost ranges from less than $300-$3,000 or more, depending on the individual, the type of test and the comprehensiveness of the test.
