Patients can also receive COVID-19 testing combined with testing for influenza A and B. The team performs other lab tests using samples collected by physicians and sent to the lab. Then their in-house billing team verifies the patient’s insurance benefits before they start testing in order to avoid any patient bills. In addition to COVID testing, Lehigh Valley Genomics offers three primary molecular tests: respiratory panel testing, gastrointestinal panel testing, and urinary tract infection testing. Its genetic testing includes pharmacogenetics, hereditary cancer, cardiomyopathy, familial hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and obesity, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other dementias. The team also uniquely offers next-generation sequencing to determine the root cause of diabetes and obesity. The tests give physicians the information needed to tailor treatments to each patient’s genetic makeup. Genetic counselors at Lehigh Valley Genomics are available to talk with a patient or their doctor after genetic testing results are ready. Patients get the information and support they need, from learning about their test results to guidance for future health care decisions.
