TEST COST

Genetic carrier screening for CF, SMA, and FXS is now fully Medicare-rebatable for female patients who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. If the female patient is found to be a carrier, the reproductive partner of the patient can then be tested for CF or SMA to determine the couple’s reproductive risk of having a child with CF or SMA. The test for each condition is covered once in an individual’s lifetime. For Medicare eligibility criteria, please click here.
