Updates On Genetic Testing Coverage
Some big strides are being taken in genetic testing insurance coverage. In the past few months private health insurers, HMO's, and state Medicaid programs have developed reimbursement policies that will result in lots more genetic tests being paid for by insurers.
- Medicaid approves in 19 states so far, awaiting approval in all 50 states
- Blue Cross has issued a national directive. View Blue Cross Blue Shield's review here.
- Aetna has issued rules
- Cigna has a coverage policy
- Humana members covered
- Tufts Health Plan authorizes coverage
- and many more are done or in the works!
For up to date information you can visit Familion. PGxHealth has issued a compilation of Familion coverage providers and policies. You can access PGxHealth's updated information here, to see if your insurance provider was recently added to the Familion list and what their coverage policy may be.
