Below are two sections extracted from the Pharmacogenomics (PGx) test page:
"There are many ways to qualify for a PGx test. You qualify if you are taking multiple medications or even a single medication that is identified by the FDA as a drug requiring a PGx test prior to being prescribed...
... The following website lists over 250 drugs with pharmacogenomic information in their labeling, along with requirements and FDA recommendations:"
"Genetic testing is considered preventive care. Insurance will typically cover the entire cost of the test if you meet the medical necessity requirements, so there would be no out of pocket costs for you in most cases.
The lab will check with your insurance company to make sure they will cover the test. If your insurance company will not approve the test, or not agree to cover the entire cost, the lab will contact you with further options. Again, they will not automatically process the test and hold you responsible for the cost.
Testing is also available for those who are uninsured and/or those who wish to self-pay for the test. Please check with your genetic screening advocate or medical provider for further details on pricing."
