GeneSight Psychotropic is a pharmacogenomic test which means that it analyzes how your genes may affect medication outcomes. The GeneSight test analyzes clinically important genetic variations in your DNA. Results can inform your healthcare provider about how you may break down or respond to certain medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions.
The GeneSight test must be ordered by your healthcare provider or nurse practitioner. The test is a simple cheek swab taken in your healthcare provider’s office or can be sent by your healthcare provider to be taken in the convenience of your home.
A comprehensive report, personalized for you.
The GeneSight test report provides information about which medications may require dose adjustments, be less likely to work, or have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic information.
The report also includes information on how a patient’s smoking status may affect their body’s metabolism of certain medications. The GeneSight results do not provide information on disease diagnosis, medication allergies, drug-drug interactions, or which medications will work best.
Cost Shouldn’t Be a Barrier
If you have insurance, we will bill your insurance for the cost of the GeneSight test. Some insurance plans will cover the cost though this can vary.
