I did it at the beginning of this ordeal. I have two daughters and was concerned. I came out negative for both 1 and 2.

My insurance did pay it. The genetic counselor did say that it may not, and in that case, he would write a letter to support the need. so advise your counselor if it comes back that nothing is covered.

by the way, on visiting my onc this week, he said that there are new test out there to re visit brac 1 and 2, in other words there's more data or genes that can be tested. this would be at the city of hope in Los angeles. but I don't know anything about this
