If cost is a concern, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I offer flexible payment arrangements, and I believe financial barriers should never prevent someone from accessing supportive, personalized care.

FAQs

  • I assess a broad range of genetic risks, including hereditary cancer syndromes, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and other inherited conditions. We’ll review your family history to identify the most relevant risks and discuss whether genetic testing could be beneficial for you or your family members.

  • 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.

  • I do not make direct referrals, but I can provide recommendations for specialists who may be appropriate for further evaluation or care. I’ll work with you to navigate the next steps and ensure you have the information you need to make informed decisions.

  • 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.

  • I don’t bill insurance directly, but many clients with PPO plans are able to receive partial out-of-network reimbursement. 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 96040 (genetic counseling via telehealth).
