The GeneSight® Promise
If you decide to use your insurance and we determine that your cost will exceed $330, we will contact you before processing the test and before billing you to make sure you would like to proceed.
Reduced Self-Pay Option
All patients are eligible for the reduced self-pay option of $330. Self-Pay may be the most affordable option for patients whose out-of-pocket cost is estimated to be higher than $330, for those whose insurance does not cover the GeneSight test, or for those without insurance.
A Comprehensive Report, Personalized for You
The GeneSight test results do not provide information on disease diagnosis, medication allergies, drug-drug interactions, or which medications will work best.
The GeneSight test provides genetic insights to help inform your clinician’s treatment plan, potentially reducing medication trial and error, and shortening your road to recovery.
The report classifies over 60 mental health medications into four categories:
Use as Directed
Moderate Gene-Drug Interaction
Significant Gene-Drug Interaction
No Proven Genetic Markers
The report also includes information on how a patient’s smoking status may affect their body’s metabolism of certain medications.
The GeneSight test results do not provide information on disease diagnosis, medication allergies, drug-drug interactions, or which medications will work best.
How Does It Work?
The GeneSight test is a simple cheek swab taken in your clinician’s office
can be ordered and sent by your clinician to be taken in the convenience of your home via GeneSight at Home.
The sample is sent to our lab for analysis. After we receive your sample, we send results to your clinician typically within about 2 days.
Your clinician can review your results on the next visit. The results may be used by your healthcare provider to help inform your mental health medication treatment.
