Project Description
GeneSight
GeneSight Psychotropic is a pharmacogenomic test which means that it analyzes how your genes may affect medication outcomes. The GeneSight test analyzes clinically important genetic variations in your DNA. Results can inform your doctor about how you may break down or respond to certain medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions.
How Do I Get the GeneSight Test?
The GeneSight test must be ordered by your doctor or nurse practitioner. The test is a simple cheek swab taken in your healthcare provider’s office or can be sent by your doctor to be taken in the convenience of your home.
What is the Cost for a GeneSight Test?
Cost shouldn’t be a barrier
Over 95% of patients pay $330 or less for their GeneSight test.
We promise that if your cost could be more than $330, we’ll call you before we process your test.
