Genetic Testing
What is the cost of genetic testing, and how long does it take to get the results?
In the USA, the cost of genetic testing can range from under $100 to more than $2000, depending on the nature and complexity of the test. The cost increases if more than one test is necessary or if multiple family members must be tested to obtain a meaningful result.
From the date that a sample is taken, it may take a few weeks to several months to receive the test results. Results for prenatal testing are usually available more quickly because time is an important consideration in making decisions about a pregnancy.
The doctor or genetic counsellor who orders a particular test can provide specific information about the cost and time frame associated with that test.
