How much does my biochemistry, chromosome, FastDNA, molecular karyotype, microarray CGH, or molecular DNA test cost?
At the time your sample was taken your doctor should have discussed the fees for the testing. Please call our customer service line on 1300 652 687 (free call) to obtain more information of testing fees if required. When the testing is complete you will be sent an invoice which is payable within 7 days. You will not be charged if the biochemistry, chromosome (karyotype) or molecular DNA test fails.

Alternatively, you may wish to use our credit card authority form for convenience and send to us, or call our customer service line to pay by credit card over the phone on 1300 652 687 (free call).

Does Medicare cover the fee?
For chromosome testing, Medicare covers a portion of the fee for chromosome analysis. Your account will show a charge for chromosome analysis. There will be a gap that must be paid by you. This should be forwarded to us with the Medicare cheque.

For molecular karyotyping, molecular aneuploidy screening or microarray CGH, Medicare covers a portion of the fee for chromosome analysis. When your test is complete we will send you an account for molecular karyotyping and acknowledge any prepayment you may have made. You should submit the account to Medicare for the refund, which you should send to Sydney Genetics.

There is no Medicare cover at the present time specifically for FastDNA™ or FastDNAplus™. However, Medicare covers a portion of the chromosome analysis. Your account will show a charge for chromosome analysis including your FastDNA™ or FastDNAplus™ test. When your test is complete we will send you an account for chromosome analysis and acknowledge any prepayment you may have made. You should submit the account to Medicare for the refund, which you should send to Sydney Genetics.

Very few molecular DNA tests are covered by Medicare. Unfortunately, for most of our molecular DNA tests there is currently no Medicare cover. Under defined conditions, Medicare may cover the Fragile X testing if an individual has this disorder. Thrombophilia mutation testing may be covered if you have proven Deep Vein Thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
