Collecting the Sample
Flexible options to fit different patient situations.
Saliva or Buccal Kit Gets Shipped to Your Patient
Most Ambry genetic tests** can be completed with a saliva or buccal sample kit shipped directly to your patient.
- Order in AmbryPort and have a saliva or buccal collection kit shipped directly to your patient. When placing an order in AmbryPort, in the Specimen section, add a Saliva or Buccal specimen type and select ‘Yes’ the patient needs a kit sent to them.
- Ambry will ship a saliva or buccal kit directly to the patient via FedEx and include a copy of the patient signature card, pre-paid return shipping label, and return envelopes for USPS and FedEx. You will be notified via Ambry Message as soon as the saliva or buccal kit has been shipped to the patient.
- Once we have received the patient’s sample, turnaround times, billing verification, and report delivery will proceed as usual.
- If you prefer to send us a hard copy Test Requisition Form, please note ‘Ship Saliva Kit to Patient’ or ‘Ship Buccal Kit to Patient’ on the form and send it to us via fax +1 949.900.5501 or email info@ambrygen.com.
