Our genetic counseling team has a common goal: helping you and your doctor make the most of your test results.

Genetic counseling services

A genetic counselor is a healthcare professional who can help you better understand the genetic testing process and, after your results are available, what your testing revealed. They can also offer resources and support.

If you’re not already working with a genetic counselor, GeneDx offers comprehensive patient counseling services with a referral from your healthcare provider.

GeneDx’s patient counseling team and our independent partners offer:

  • Pre-test genetic counseling discussion, which includes reviewing genetic testing consent
  • Post-test genetic counseling discussion* to better understand your results and potential next steps
  • Phone appointments with flexible scheduling options, including evening availability
  • Support and guidance for you and your family, including connecting you with support groups for ongoing assistance

*GeneDx manages referral to third party genetic counselors when required by insurance. Some insurance companies may mandate referral to an independent genetics professional, in which case the billing will be directed to the patient’s insurance.

Can’t get a referral?

Often, your existing healthcare provider can order your testing or provide a referral to a genetics expert. For times when that’s not an option, GeneDx has partnered with Genome Medical, a leading genetic counseling services company. This program connects families to telehealth providers who can discuss genetic testing and, if appropriate, order the test. See if the program is right for your child.
