A member asked:
Can you request karyotyping during a routine physical/blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: A karyotype is an expensive test - about $2000 dollars depending on what lab it is sent. Check with your insurance to see if they require pre authorization (ie approval for the diagnosis that your doctor is using the test for). If you have the test done without pre authorization on most plans, they would not cover it, and then the patient is responsible for the fees.
