Interesting topic, I had genetic testing after cancer diagnosis when still on private insurance. May not been same as your asking about. I am now on Medicare and did search for rules. Here is Medicare document with rules for coverage:
https://www.cms.gov/medicare-coverage-database/view/ncd.aspx?ncdid=372&ncdver=2
Of course, would try to verify with billing dept before any testing. Mayo does have a dept in billing that does estimates, I tried to get an estimate for a different non-covered appointment / test and provider actually had to ordered first, then billing could provide me an estimate. Once found out cost, I cancelled the appointment / test.

Good luck., Laurie

Laurie, from your post I'm taking it you had a Medicare advantgage plan prior to Orginal Medicare?

I have a Medicare advantgage plan now, & will need to have genetic testing done, was planning on coming to Mayo, worried about having extras covered changing to orginal Medicare.
