How to order
1. Submit an order*
Place an order online or via paper, including your patient's insurance information.
* Invitae will determine if genetic testing is covered. If so, we will bill your patient’s insurance carrier once results have been released. If your patient does not have insurance benefits, the patient’s insurance policy does not cover genetic testing, or your patient does not meet their payer’s eligibility criteria, they may be eligible for a sponsored, no-charge testing option. Under this program, de-identified patient information and clinician contact information may be shared with third parties, such as researchers and commercial entities, regardless of the billing method used.
2. Collect a specimen
Order a blood, buccal or saliva collection kit.
3. Receive results
On average, we return results within 10–21 days after receiving the specimen.
