FAQ
Common questions about this program
What is this test?
This genetic test looks for inherited causes of primary immunodeficiency (PID), which can lead to frequent or severe infections, poor immune responses, or other long-standing immune concerns.
Who should consider testing?
Patients in the U.S. with repeated infections, unusual illness patterns, or a clinical concern for an underlying immune disorder may be eligible. Your provider will decide if this test fits your situation.
What will the test cost?
Labcorp first reviews your insurance coverage. If testing is covered, your insurance may be billed after results are released. If you have no coverage, your plan excludes genetic testing, or you don’t meet insurance eligibility rules, you may qualify for a sponsored, no-charge option.
Will my information be shared?
De-identified patient information and your clinician’s contact details may be shared with researchers or commercial partners, regardless of whether insurance or a sponsored option is used.
How do I provide a sample?
Your provider will place the order. A blood, saliva, or buccal sample may be collected depending on what they recommend.
When will I get results?
Most results are returned within the lab’s standard turnaround time once your sample arrives.
