Are the costs of genetic diagnostics covered by health insurance?

Statutory health insurance companies usually cover the costs after a specialist (for neurology, general medicine or human genetics) has requested them from
and on the basis of a
laboratory request (“Sample 10”).

In the case of private health insurance (PKV), the assumption of costs (or their scope) depends on the individual tariff. It is advisable to contact the PKV in advance and submit the cost estimate from the genetic laboratory in order to clarify the medical and legal basis for the assumption of costs.
