Genetic Counseling
Counseling is imperative in providing the highest standard of care for patients receiving genetic information. Some genetic tests require specialized knowledge that certain physicians and counselors can provide. Genection provides physicians access to genetic counselors free of charge. Genetic counselors are also available for patients, and when prescribed by a physician based on the patients' needs, this is usually covered by most insurance plans. All of our counselors are board certified and have a minimum of three years clinical experience. The links below can assist patients in finding additional information about genetic counselors and other providers who can meet their needs.
