At-home labs · FAQ
Who may be eligible for at-home labs through Verra?
Short answer
Eligibility for at-home labs depends on the test, your age, your health history, and the reason for testing. A licensed physician in your state decides if testing is appropriate. A blood panel or genetic test is not needed for every person or every treatment decision.
At-home labs may be considered when a test can help answer a clear health question. A licensed physician in your state decides if testing is appropriate. The decision may depend on your symptoms, medical history, current medications, prior lab findings, and ability to collect a usable sample.
The Comprehensive panel and Hormone panel involve different questions from genetic tests. A Medication response (PGx) test or TRU-1 GLP-1 response test should not be chosen just because its name matches a medication you take. The clinician needs to consider whether the information would be useful for your care. Results vary.
Age limits and other requirements may differ by test. Do not assume a test is suitable for children, pregnancy, or a complex medical condition without asking first. Tell the clinician about recent illness, transfusions, and any trouble with blood collection. At-home testing is not a substitute for an exam when symptoms need hands-on care. Ask about eligibility before purchasing a kit.
