In the case of most genetic tests, the patient or subject should be informed that the test might yield information regarding a carrier or disease state that requires difficult choices regarding their current or future health, insurance coverage, career, marriage, or reproductive options. The objective of informed consent is to preserve the individual's right to decide whether to have a genetic test. This right includes the right of refusal should the individual decide the potential harm outweighs the potential benefits.

If the analyte being tested is not represented by a Tier 1 code or is not accurately described by a Tier 2 code, the unlisted molecular pathology procedure code 81479 should be reported.
Code selection is based on the specific gene (s) that is being analyzed. Codes that describe tests to assess for the presence of gene variants use common gene variant names. All of the listed variants would usually be tested; however, these lists are not exclusive. If additional variants, for the same gene, are also tested in the analysis they are included in the procedure and are not reported separately.

A panel of genes is a distinct procedural service from a series of individual genes. All services billed to Medicare must be medically reasonable and necessary. As such, if a provider or supplier submits a claim for a panel, then the patient’s medical record must reflect that the panel was medically reasonable and necessary. Alternatively, if a provider or supplier bills for individual genes, then the patient’s medical record must reflect that each individual gene is medically reasonable and necessary.
You, your employees and agents are authorized to use CPT only as contained in the following authorized materials of CMS internally within your organization within the United States for the sole use by yourself, employees and agents. Use is limited to use in Medicare, Medicaid or other programs administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). You agree to take all necessary steps to insure that your employees and agents abide by the terms of this agreement.

GDSP authorizes all services and procedures as a result of a positive prenatal screening test at no additional cost to the patient or the provider. Only GDSP can authorize and reimburse providers for additional services rendered to women with positive prenatal screening results. Reimbursement for prenatal screening cannot be made to other providers. Prenatal screening, which includes CPT® codes 81508 (fetal congenital abnormalities, biochemical assays of two proteins [PAPP-A, hCG (any form)], utilizing maternal serum, algorithm reported as a risk score) or 81511 (fetal congenital abnormalities, biochemical assays of four analytes [AFP, uE3, hCG (any form), DIA] utilizing maternal serum, algorithm reported as a risk score) are reimbursable only once for women in the first and/or second trimester of pregnancy, including women with Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women (PE4PW) benefits and can include any combination of the five analytes. Women with positive screen results also may receive specialized follow-up services and diagnostic tests that are authorized only through GDSP.
Prenatal screening tests are used to detect Down Syndrome, neural tube defects and other specified birth defects. The Prenatal Screening Program consists of five separate serum tests, depending on the timing of the test: PAPP-A and hCG in the first trimester, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), hCG, unconjugated estriol (uE3) and inhibin A in the second trimester. The addition of first trimester and integrated screening instead of second trimester screening alone increases the ability to predict which pregnant women have an increased risk of carrying a fetus with Down Syndrome and/or Trisomy 18.
Newborn metabolic screening tests for metabolic disorders may be reimbursable only to the provider types listed below, and only when HCPCS code S3620 is billed with modifier 90 (California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Section 6500):
