Verification of Benefits
All insurance companies have different levels of coverage, but most cover at least part of
the cost of genetic testing if testing is indicated.
As a complimentary service, Emory Genetics Laboratory’s experienced team will work
with your patient’s insurance company to determine their level of coverage and the approximate
out-of-pocket costs, so you and your patient can make an educated decision
on how to proceed.
