Fast-Turnaround Genetic Counseling for Your Patients
Your patients have genetics questions your team doesn't have time to fully address. When they're referred to a large center, they often see a different counselor at each visit and leave without a clear plan.
Minneapolis Genetics provides independent, board certified genetic counseling via telehealth. One counselor handles the entire episode of care from intake through results and sends a clinical summary back to your team within 48 hours
When to refer a patient to Minneapolis Genetics
-
Your patient received an abnormal or unclear NIPT result and needs counseling before diagnostic testing
-
Your patient isconsidering or has completed PGT and needs independent guidance on what the results mean for transfer decisions
-
A couple needs expanded carrier screening reviewed especially when both partners carry variants and the risk math gets complicated
-
Your IVF patient is using donor gametes and needs genetic compatibility reviewed before proceeding
-
Your patient got results from another provider and needs help understanding next steps
