Guidance for your genetic testing journey
At Ambry, we want to empower you to navigate your healthcare with confidence.
Understanding the Basics
Genetic testing studies your DNA and genes through a blood or saliva sample to better understand your health. This testing can identify your risk for conditions such as cancer or rare disease, helping you access specialized medical care options and make informed choices about them with your healthcare team.
Why It Matters
Genetic testing can help you make health decisions that impact you and your family. This can make actions clearer, guiding you and your healthcare provider on how to move forward.
Getting Started
Talking to your healthcare provider is the first step. They may refer you to a genetic counselor, a specialized healthcare professional, to talk about your health history or the option of genetic testing for you or your family.

Understanding Cost and Coverage
Ambry’s tests are covered by many health insurance companies. While each person’s policy or payment situation is different, our goal is to make testing accessible and costs clear up front. Our specialists can help you understand what is covered under your plan and any financial assistance if needed.
