Reproductive genetic screening results can provide you, your partner, and your healthcare provider with valuable genetic insights about a baby’s development and potential to inherit specific conditions. The cost for prenatal genetic screening before or during pregnancy depends on your insurance coverage and personal situation. The majority of patients face no out-of-pocket costs. Myriad recognizes that everyone’s financial situation is unique, and we are committed to providing patients with access to reliable and affordable genetic testing.
An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is a notification sent by your insurance company that describes how they covered the cost of services you received from a healthcare provider, like Myriad. The EOB shows the amount paid by your insurance company and the amount that you may owe. An EOB is not a bill and doesn’t typically require you to take any action. A bill (or statement) is a request for payment from a healthcare provider and shows the amount of money you owe for a service you received.
