appointment the same day, but it may be several hours later or possibly a different day altogether. Strict adherence to this

GENETIC CONSULTATION INFORMATION
To Our Prospective Patients,
During the course of your care in our office, you may meet with a genetic counselor.
About Genetic Counselors and Genetic Consultation
A genetic counselor is a healthcare professional with a specialized graduate degree, certification, and experience in genetics
and counseling. You may be referred by your doctor to meet with a genetic counselor due to your medical, pregnancy, or
family history, or due to an increased risk based on age, test results, ultrasound findings, exposures, or other factors. You
may also be referred to meet with a genetic counselor by the Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist.
During a genetic consultation and follow up, a genetic counselor will:
discuss potential genetic risks and available testing options
provide you with a personalized risk assessment based on your medical, pregnancy, and family history
explain test results
provide you with information about a chromosome abnormality, birth defect, or genetic condition of concern
support you in making decisions about testing options and pregnancy
coordinate genetic testing, if available and desired
provide you with referrals to other specialists or resources, as needed
At times, a genetic counseling student may participate in your care. A certified genetic counselor will be present during all
student interactions to ensure that you receive clear and appropriate information. You always have the option to decline
interaction (observation or counseling) with a genetic counseling student. If a genetic counseling student is present, the
same billing policies described below will apply.
About Billing for Genetic Consultation
The cost of a genetic consultation will be billed to your insurance based on the amount of time you spend talking with the
genetic counselor (divided into 30 minute increments). When possible, codes are submitted to your insurance company for
pre-authorization and approval prior to the consultation. If you would like to contact insurance personally to determine
coverage, please use the CPT (procedural) code 96040 for genetic consultation. This is the only CPT code that can be used
for genetic consultation and therefore, if your insurance carrier does not cover this CPT code, a different code cannot be
used and genetic consultation will not be covered. Please understand that pre-authorization or approval for genetic
counseling is NOT a guarantee that the cost of the consultation will be covered by insurance. There are some insurance
companies that do not routinely cover genetic counseling. Please understand that meeting with a genetic counselor is
required prior to having certain genetic tests in our office, including cell-free DNA screening, carrier screening, chorionic
villus sampling (CVS), and amniocentesis.
If you receive a bill for genetic consultation, you will be eligible to receive a discount for self-pay. Please contact Patient
Financial Services at 202-537-4778 to have the discount applied and to pay your bill.
If you receive a request for medical documentation supporting the need for genetic consultation or testing, please contact
our genetic counselor at 202-660-7182.
Thank you!

FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING AND BILLING
The first trimester screen provides a risk assessment for Down syndrome and two other more severe chromosome
abnormalities (trisomy 18 and trisomy 13) in the end of the first trimester of pregnancy (weeks 12-13
+6
). The first trimester
screen combines the results of a specialized ultrasound (nuchal translucency) with a blood test. The ultrasound will be
performed in our office at the time of your appointment and your blood will be drawn and sent to NTD
laboratories/PerkinElmer for analysis. There are several laboratories that offer first trimester screen blood analysis,
HOWEVER, our office will ONLY send a blood sample for first trimester screening to NTD laboratories. We use NTD
laboratories because their first trimester combined screen result is the most accurate, detecting up to 95% of cases of Down
syndrome, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13 (compared to a detection rate of 85% at some other laboratories). Regardless of which
laboratory is in network for your insurance carrier, your first trimester screen blood work will be sent to NTD to provide
the risk assessment with the highest accuracy. If your insurance carrier is out of network and you do not have out of network
benefits, your first trimester blood sample cannot be sent to a different in network laboratory. You may wish to call your
insurance carrier prior to your first trimester screen appointment to determine if your insurance carrier is contracted with
NTD laboratories/Eurofins. You may decline first trimester screen blood analysis, however, the most accurate test result is
produced from combining the ultrasound results with blood analysis. Please ask the physician and/or genetic counselor if
you have further questions at the time of your appointment.
The cost of the first trimester screen blood work through NTD laboratories is $260. If you receive a bill for some, or all, of
this amount, you will be eligible for a discounted self-pay rate (typically less than $100). Please contact NTD Laboratories
directly at 631-425-0800 to discuss the discounted rate and to pay your bill.
If you receive a request for medical documentation supporting the need for first trimester screening, please contact our
genetic counselor at 202-660-7182.
Please read the statement below, and print, sign, and date if you agree.
I have read and understand the first trimester screen and genetic consultation billing policies of the Maternal Fetal
Medicine Program at Sibley Memorial Hospital.
