Through our partnership with Natera, we are able to incorporate their Empower Hereditary Cancer Test into the PenRad platform. This partnership represents a significant step forward in our efforts to identify those at risk of developing breast cancer, and to offer a high-quality genetic testing option.
Here is how it works:
- Enter patient health history and insurance information into PenRad.
- PenRad will flag patients that meet medical guidelines for hereditary cancer testing. Most of these patients will have no out-of-pocket cost, and patients without adequate insurance can opt for an affordable price of $249.
- Print the pre-populated Natera test requisition form from PenRad.
- Collect testing specimen (either blood or saliva) from the patient.
- Return the specimen and the test requisition form to Natera in the yellow FedEx envelope provided by your representative.
- Patients are notified when their specimen is received and when results are ready to be viewed.
- Natera offers post-test genetic information sessions for patients with board-certified genetic counselors.
