About the GeneSight test

The GeneSight Psychotropic test is a genetic test that shows your healthcare provider how your genes may affect your outcomes with commonly prescribed mental health medications. The test provides personalized information about which medications may require dose adjustments, be less likely to work, or have an increased risk in side effects.

Is the GeneSight test right for you?

• Has a mental health medication failed you in the past?

• Is your current mental health medication not working?

• Does your mental health medication cause unwanted side effects?

What is the GeneSight test process?

Step 1: The GeneSight test sample is collected by a simple cheek swab.

Step 2: Your sample is sent to the GeneSight lab for analysis and your provider will typically receive your results in about two days.

Step 3: Your healthcare provider will review your results with you at your next appointment.

How much does the GeneSight test cost?

• Many insurance plans, including Medicare, often cover the entire or a significant portion of the cost of the test.

• Financial assistance plans are available for eligible patients to help cover the cost of the test.

• Interest-free payment plans are offered and allow patients to spread payments out over a 12-month period.
