Even if your family history is unclear or you don't have a known genetic condition, genetic counseling can still be helpful. We can assess your personal and family health history and discuss potential risks that may not be obvious at first glance, as well as explore genetic testing options based on your unique situation.

No referral is required. You can book an appointment directly. However, if a healthcare provider has recommended a genetic risk assessment, you can share that information with me to ensure we tailor the session appropriately.

Genetic testing is billed separately by the laboratory. Genetic testing panels typically start at $250 for out-of-pocket costs, though the final price can vary depending on the type of test and your insurance coverage. Many labs also offer financial assistance programs to help reduce costs if insurance does not cover testing.

Unfortunately, I am unable to bill insurance directly. I can provide a superbill with the necessary codes upon request. Be sure to check with your insurance company to ask about coverage for CPT code 96041 (Medical Genetics and Genetic Counseling Services)
