Financial Assistance and Support Program
Financial Support
Genetic testing can be complicated. Paying for it shouldn’t be. That’s why Quest Diagnostics offers a reimbursement support program for patients who meet the necessary criteria for testing. Upon receipt of a fully completed order and a patient blood sample, our team will verify coverage of your patient’s plan and quickly determine their likely out-of-pocket responsibility. In the unlikely event that your patient’s estimated responsibility is over $100 for BRCAvantage and MYvantage, we will attempt to notify you and/or your patient prior to test initiation to discuss options for continuation or cancellation of the test. Please note that cases lacking complete information or a patient blood sample will not be processed, except where required by certain commercial insurance carriers. Quest Diagnostics will also provide financial assistance as part of our commitment to keep testing affordable. For more information on these services and additional testing resources, please contact Quest Diagnostics at 866.GENE.INFO.
