Billing and Reimbursement
Most insurance plans reimburse for genetic testing. Many insurance carriers do mandate pre-authorization for testing performed by out-of-network laboratories. It is important that your patients follow the steps outlined by their insurance carriers in order to secure reimbursement for testing in our laboratory.
We will bill commercial insurance and accept most medical assistance programs, if you provide us with complete billing information on the test requisition.
Our billing specialists are available to you and your patients to assist with insurance preauthorization, CPT codes and costs, and billing issues. Please contact them at 1-866-450-4198 with any questions.
