In order to ensure 2023 billing, testing must be activated before the end of the year, or within 30 days of proband sample collection (if sample was collected in 2023). For Exome, Genome, or Xpanded testing, if you do not expect parental samples to be received in time for testing to be activated with 2023 billing, please contact us at support@genedx.com to determine how to proceed.

A blood sample or cheek swab is all it takes. If possible, samples from both biological parents (in addition to the patient) can increase the chance that we find an answer.
Although the cost of exome testing can vary depending on your insurance, GeneDx believes that genetic testing—and the critical healthcare information it can provide—should be available to all. That’s why we offer a Financial Assistance Program for eligible patients and no-interest, no-fee payment plans when needed.
Test results are typically sent to your ordering provider within 6 weeks of our lab receiving the blood or cheek swab sample. We also offer rapid testing options, which can deliver verbal results in as little as 7 days.
Turnaround times are estimates and begin once the sample(s) begin processing at the GeneDx lab and could be extended in situations outside GeneDx’s control.
