Genetic Testing Solution

Harness the health revolution

Our Genetic Testing Solution helps reduce your health plan’s spending on unnecessary — and potentially harmful — genetic testing and helps deliver clarity to your members. We do this by promoting evidence-based clinical criteria that emphasizes appropriate testing at in-network labs. We also connect board-certified genetics professionals to your providers, helping them choose the right tests, and to your members for genetic counseling, helping them understand test results.

What if clinical integrity was embedded within genetic testing? 

When used appropriately, genetic testing can help your providers and members make complex care decisions. But, as more specialties rely on it and the number of available tests grows each year, providers are especially challenged to keep up with the latest evidence. Our solution guides them to the right tests based on your members’ specific needs.

Keep your members’ care on track

Enthusiasm for genetic testing can quickly drive unnecessary testing and anxiety for your members. We help prevent that. With our solution, your members avoid testing that is unnecessary and/or performed at out-of-network labs.

 

Scale the right decisions across your network

Few specialties involve as much complex decision-making as genetic testing. We bring greater clarity to it. When we partner with your health plan, your providers gain direct access to genetic experts to help them select the right test.

 

Harness your spending with our rigorous evidence

In genetic testing, high spending can result from low-value tests, overutilization, and expensive labs. We optimize for them all, for you. Our proprietary genetic testing medical policies help curb expenses associated with unnecessary genetic tests.
