7FAQs: Out-of-Province Genetic Testing
Division of Laboratory Genetics, Molecular Genetics Laboratory
A
MSP
BOUT
FUNDING APPROVAL
2. Do I need to provide a copy of the MSP funding approval letter in the package of paperwork faxed to
MGL?
Yes. The completed paperwork, including the MSP funding letter, must be received by MGL prior to sample
collection, unless specific exception has been preapproved by the Molecular Geneticist On Service.
Furthermore, most laboratories will not proceed with testing without written confirmation of funding.
MGL
includes the copy of the MSP funding approval letter with the paperwork sent to the referral laboratory.
For rare tests where clinical testing is being performed in a research laboratory, and thus MSP funding is not
applicable, please contact the Molecular Geneticist On Service (MGLOnService@phsa.ca), for preapproval and
instructions on how to proceed.
3. The dollar amount for the test that MSP approved has changed, do I need to request an updated
letter?
Contact MSP Out of Country claims to discuss.
Note: Some referral laboratories will not proceed with
testing unless the amount on the MSP funding approval letter is exactly the same as their current charge for the
test. These labs may require that you provide them written assurance that the full cost of testing will be covered,
even for small differences.
4. What information do I include to ensure that the referral laboratory bills MSP?
Under the “institutional billing” section of the referral laboratory requisition/billing form, provide the following
information:
Bill at your institutional rate to:
Ms. Kelly Braithwaite
Authorization Coordinator
HIBC Out of Country Claims
P.O. Box 9480 Stn Prov Govt
Victoria, BC V8W 9E7 CANADA
Include the patient name, PHN, referring physician name and report with the invoice.
*** Do NOT indicate “insurance billing” for tests being covered by MSP. In the US, MSP is considered an
institution ***
5. The referral laboratory does not offer the option of institutional billing; they are requesting
prepayment.
Most laboratories will provide institutional billing, especially when the MSP approval letter is included with the
send out paperwork. Upon receipt of the paperwork, a laboratory that does not accept institutional billing will
contact you. This scenario has only rarely been encountered by MGL.
6. What do I do if the patient wants to pay for his/her own testing?
MGL does not coordinate out-of-province genetic testing for self-pay patients. Patients can contact the referral
laboratory to explore options for collection and shipment.
