5-7 business days after you complete your registration. Please contact us if you do not receive your kit after 7 business days. Please remember, the kit will be shipped by our lab partner, Myriad. And, if you ordered both carrier and cancer kits, they will arrive separately.

jscreen’s upfront costs include a program fee ($10) and a physician order fee ($39) which jscreen collects when you sign up. There are also lab fees for your genetic test(s). If you select to pay for your test(s) through insurance, our lab partner will contact you via email and/or text to let you know your estimated out of pocket cost. Your estimate will consider: Your insurance plan How much of your deductible has been paid so far this year Any copays or coinsurance Eligibility for financial assistance You will receive an email/text from our lab partner notifying you that your estimate is ready to view. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU OPEN THIS EMAIL. Most people who meet criteria for testing will pay $0 additional out-of-pocket, but if your estimate shows you’ll have an out-of-pocket cost that creates a hardship, you have options which will be provided to you by our lab partner.

This test will tell you if you are a carrier of a genetic disease on the testing panel and your risk for having a child with that condition. See below to find out what it means to be a carrier and the type of conditions on the panel. Carriers Typically people who are carriers of diseases on this panel do not have symptoms. There are two types of diseases on this panel: recessive and X-linked diseases. Recessive Diseases Two carriers of the same recessive disease have a 25% (or 1 in 4) chance in each of their pregnancies that the baby will be affected with that disease. Carrier couples are counseled about their options to build a healthy family. X-Linked Diseases For female (sex assigned at birth) carriers of X-linked diseases, there is a chance of having an affected child regardless of her partner’s carrier status. Typically sons are more severely affected than daughters. It is recommended that all females have screening, regardless of their partner’s results. Individuals who are carriers of X-linked conditions are strongly advised to take advantage of the genetic counseling included with testing to discuss their results and reproductive options.
