Chromosomal microarray cost can vary widely. Learn what self-pay patients may pay, how major ordering pathways differ, what fees to ask about, and how to compare total cost.
Chromosomal microarray can identify clinically important chromosome deletions and duplications, but it has important limits. Here’s what to ask before ordering and how to understand results.
Whole genome sequencing can cost a few hundred dollars for consumer testing or much more for clinician-ordered diagnostic WGS. Compare total cost, fees, reports, and limitations before buying.
Whole genome sequencing can provide broad genetic information, but it is not always the right test. Learn how WGS works, what results mean, what it can miss, and how to compare total cost before ordering.
Whole exome sequencing can cost from under $1,000 to several thousand dollars depending on whether you need proband-only, trio, rapid, prenatal, or hospital-based testing. Here’s how to compare the real self-pay cost.
Whole exome sequencing can help diagnose some inherited and rare conditions, but it has limits. Learn what WES covers, result types, preparation steps, privacy issues, and cost questions to ask before ordering.
Pharmacogenomic testing often costs about $295–$599 self-pay, but the best value depends on ordering fees, medication coverage, insurance rules, and clinical usefulness.
Pharmacogenomic testing can help guide some medication decisions, but it has limits. Learn what PGx results mean, who may benefit, what it costs, and what to ask before ordering.
Hereditary cancer genetic testing often costs about $249–$499 self-pay, but total cost depends on counseling, provider fees, insurance billing, and panel scope.
