Insurance Billing & Insurance Preverification Request

Ambry Genetics requires that all insurance cases come with
a fully completed Test Requisition Form, including ICD-9 codes. HMO authorizations or referrals should be attached.

Please send a copy of the front and back of the patient’s insurance card for both primary and secondary insurance carriers. If the card is not available, a copy of the patient's demographic information or their clinic registration and billing form should be submitted.

Status of benefits will be verified by Ambry Genetics for all insurance samples before processing. All tests not authorized by the patient’s insurance will be the responsibility of the patient.
 

Insurance Preverification Requests

We understand the medical insurance process can be challenging. The first step is to complete an Insurance Preverification Request Form and fax it to the Billing Department at (949) 900-5501 with a copy of the patient's insurance card, if available.

Exome Test Requistion, Preverification, & Consent Form - Proband
Exome Test Requistion Form (Without Consent Form) - Proband

Our team will then assign a specialist to your case(s) who will contact the insurance company. The insurer might require additional proof of medical necessity, at which time your specialist will contact you to compile the required documents for our submission. In most cases, we will get verification from the insurer within three business days. Our responsibility to you is to provide this information as quickly as we receive it from the insurer.  
 
When considering turn-around-time, expected time frame for receiving results begins after testing has been approved by the insurance company and/or patient.
 
Insurance billing can be complicated, and we're here to help. Please call us at (949) 900-5500 ext# 362 or email us at preverification@ambrygen.com if you need our assistance.
