The PGx profile of a patient offers valuable insights into the genetic variations that influence their medication metabolism and response, enabling healthcare providers to tailor medication selection and dosing adjustments based on individual genetic predispositions.
This personalized approach minimizes the risk for adverse medication reactions, reduces the likelihood of treatment failure, and may improve medication efficacy. Ultimately, integrating PGx data into clinical decision-making empowers providers to deliver more precise and effective care, leading to better health outcomes for patients.

of patients would be more likely to take medication as prescribed if PGx information was used to help select the drug or dose3
Pharmacogenomics provides the missing link:
The integration of pharmacology and genomics yields precise guidance tailored to individual genetic profiles, enhancing both the efficacy and safety of medication regimens for patients.
Pharmacogenomics has proven outcomes:
reduce clinically relevant adverse drug reactions by 30%.
Following pharmacogenomic interventions, studies prove reductions in hospitalizations and emergency department visits by 40% and 70%, respectively.
Utilizing genomic insights in medication and dosage choices may help:
Improve medication efficacy
Select the medications that are more likely to work effectively for each individual.
Inform dosage
Genomic information can help determine how quickly an individual metabolizes a medication allowing for appropriate dose adjustments to increase effectiveness and reduce the risk for adverse effects.
Reduce adverse effects
If an individual is likely to experience adverse effects from certain medications, an alternate medication can be considered.

FAQs for Providers
A type of genetic test that is used to examine how a person’s genes can affect their response to medication.
A type of genetic test that is used to examine how a person’s genes can affect their response to medication.
A health plan-sponsored benefit program that offers to selected individuals access to digital education, PGx testing and personalized reports to empower patients and enable providers to optimize medication management and improve health outcomes. PGx summary reports are generated to provide information about gene-medication and medication-medication interactions that may impact how a patient metabolizes or responds to medications.
This program is offered by the patient’s insurance plan. The patient met specific criteria to be eligible to participate (for example, based on the medications they take).
As soon as your patient enrolls and provides your contact information, we will reach out via fax to let you know.
Yes, you will receive both the lab report and our user-friendly PGx Patient Results Summary. If the patient completed an appointment with our clinical experts, you will also receive a consult note from that appointment. The patient is encouraged to share all information with you. If you do not hear from your patient, we hope that you will initiate the communication to discuss their results and plan next steps.
