Why PGx Testing Matters
in the Hospital

A patient's genetic profile does not change. Their medication list does.

Hospitalized patients are often on many medications and start new ones fast. PGx results give prescribers and pharmacists drug-gene insight at the point of care and stay useful for the rest of the patient’s life.

  • Flag drug-gene interactions before the first dose
  • Reduce adverse drug events and trial-and-error prescribing
  • Support fewer readmissions and ED returns

No Validation Costs
A send-out test through a CLIA high-complexity partner lab. No equipment, validation or added lab cost.
No New Staff
Our team handles enrollment, benefits verification, clinical review and results delivery, so there is no headcount to add.
No Lengthy Delays for Z-Codes
Our lab's tests already have assigned Z-Codes, so you skip the long wait to register a new test before billing.
