During a visit, January of 2017, with my psychiatrist, he told me about the genetic testing thing and I told him I would rather not. He replied that it wouldn't cost me anything and Medicard would pay for it. I told him I still didn't want to do it, so we continued with our session. Nearing the end of the session he reached in a drawer, pulled out a swab and handed it to me and I didn't have a choice. The cost according to the EOB was thousands of dollars and it has never been mentioned by him again. I have no idea what the results were.

Hello, @cookie12, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is a unique experience with genetic testing.

Would you want to contact your doctor's office to find out about your results at this point?
