New York · Pharmacogenomic testing
GeneSight in New York.
A simple cheek swab that shows how your DNA may affect your response to certain mental health medications.
If antidepressants have not worked or side effects have been intolerable, GeneSight testing can help. A cheek swab kit arrives at your home, you send it back, and the results guide medication choices that are more likely to suit your body.
For New York patients, care is delivered entirely by video. Prescriptions go to your New York pharmacy, lab orders go to a draw site near you, and coverage includes commercial plans, Medicare and select managed plans alongside Medicare and commercial plans. Some controlled medications carry New York-specific telehealth rules, and we explain those before your appointment rather than after.
