Will insurance cover this test?

No. At this time geneType is a self-pay test. However, you may use FSA/HSA to pay for the test.

Can I order this test if I am a known carrier for a hereditary cancer syndrome (ie. BRCA1 or BRCA2)?

This test is not applicable to adults who have personal history of melanoma or who have already been shown to have a cancer mutation, for example in the CDKN2A gene, or a diagnosis of a genetic syndrome that may be associated with an elevated risk of melanoma. 

Does this test incorporate all potential risk factors for melanoma?

Cancer is a multifactorial disease and there are many different risk factors. Of these, geneType integrates the most predictive risk factors into the model. Future models may include additional risk factors as the scientific community’s understanding of melanoma continues to evolve.
