If your provider cannot collect a blood sample in-office, you still have options. 

Most GeneDx tests can use a cheek swab (buccal) sample. Ask your healthcare provider if this is an option for your test. See below for instructions on how to collect a check swab sample correctly to reduce the chances of contamination or the request for a repeat sample.  

If necessary, GeneDx may be able to arrange for a phlebotomist to come to your home and draw your blood. Please note: 

• For patients under the age of 13, contact client services to confirm that a pediatric phlebotomist is available in your area
• This must be ordered by your healthcare provider
• It will incur an additional cost
• Before scheduling the at-home appointment, you must receive a GeneDx venipuncture (blood) specimen collection kit
• You must also have a completed and signed GeneDx test requisition form from your healthcare provider
