GENE SIGHT is a DNA-based test that checks your enzymes and how they metabolize certain medicines. The test takes the top 64 medications prescribed for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and ADD/ADHD and divides into red / yellow / green just like a stoplight.

Just like any test, this is another tool in your toolkit to understand how best to support your body and your mental health!

COST: Please go to genesight.com/cost and enter your information to estimate how much this test will cost. Most of the time it is completely covered by insurance, especially Medicaid!

The MAXIMUM OUT OF POCKET COST that you can be charged for the test is $330, which can be divided over a 12-month period into payment installments.

You will likely get an “explanation of benefits” letter from your insurance company saying something to the effect of,

Hey this test we just paid for cost a million dollars, but that does NOT MEAN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT PAYMENT.

BENEFIT: Regardless of who your provider is, this will always be a tool you can use to determine the best medicines for you. We will go over the details at your follow-up visit.

It also tests for the MTHFR mutation, which is essential in determining how your body processes B12 and Folate. People with this mutation have a higher incidence of miscarriage, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, depression, and more.

So it’s worth finding out if you have it!
