Get personalized, genetics-based care from Genome Medical
Pre-test consultation
Talk with an expert by phone or video to determine whether FH testing is appropriate for you. Our experts will review personal and family health history and answer any questions you may have about getting tested.
Easy ordering
If appropriate, your test order will be placed by one of our physicians. We will also coordinate the convenient collection of a DNA sample — usually through a saliva kit that is sent directly to you. Testing may be available at no charge. Invitae has donated 100 free FH tests for this FH Foundation initiative.
Results consultation
You have the option to review the test results with a genetic counselor or medical geneticist. During this phone or video session, you are provided an opportunity to discuss the results of the test and their implications.
Ongoing care
Along with your test results, the Genome Medical team will provide you with personalized insights, a clinical action plan and referrals to specialists as needed.
The FH Foundation will support you and your family with education and resources before, during and after testing.
