1. Completion of risk category does not necessarily mean testing is appropriate or will be automatically approved. Completion of
Prior Authorization Form does not guarantee payment. Payment of covered services is subject to the provider’s contract, the

pertinent medical records as well as a letter of medical necessity may be required prior to authorization.
4. Genetic Counseling must be done prior to testing by a board certified *Genetic Counselor or Geneticist that is
independent of the laboratory performing the testing.
* Genetic counselors are defined by the plan as American Board of Medical Genetics or American Board of Genetic Counseling
certified physicians or masters or doctorate level-trained genetic counseling professionals who have received formal training in
genetics and genetic counseling from an accredited institution.
Patient Education*:
Consistent with the 1997 National Institute of Health Consensus Statement on guidelines for care of patients with BRCA1 and
BRCA2 mutations and American College of Medical Genetics guidelines, genetic counseling should occur both prior to and after
testing. Also, prior to testing and follow-up treatment, the patient must give informed consent in accordance with applicable law.
Consistent with such guidelines, informed consent discussions should include at least the following:
1. Clarification of the patient’s increased risk status
2. Explanation of how genetics affects cancer susceptibility
3. Potential benefits, risks, limitations of (and alternatives to) testing
4. Possible outcomes of testing (e.g., positive, negative, or uncertain test results)
5. Limited data regarding efficacy of methods for early detection and prevention
6. Possible psychological and social impact of testing
*Health care practitioners in the State of Michigan must follow state law regarding informed consent for predictive genetic testing.
