Billing
We accept the following forms of payment:
- Self-pay by check (make check payable to The University of Chicago Genetic Services) or credit card (include necessary information on test requisition form)
- Institutional billing (include necessary information on test requisition form).
- Insurance billing (include a copy of the front and back of the insurance card necessary information with test requisition form). Please note that we do not bill insurance for ASPM, MLL2, NIPBL, or NSD1 sequencing, the Microcephaly Tier 2 panel or the Seckel Tier 2 Panel. We do NOT accept Illinois or any out-of-state Medicaid.
Our laboratory will not be responsible for refunding any "cost differential" that may occur as a result of a patient seeking any type of reimbursement.
Samples will be stabilized and held for all past due accounts reflecting a 90-day or greater balance. Testing will not be performed until overdue payment is received. Your laboratory, upon receipt of sample, will be notified of this delay if applicable.
Samples received without billing information will delay processing time. Pre-payment is required for samples referred from outside of the US or Canada. Questions? Please contact our billing manager, Yulanda Outlaw (773-834-8220).
