Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does my doctor need to order the test?
    No, you don’t need a doctor to order the test. Prescription Match collaborates with a network of licensed physicians across all 50 states who can review and authorize your test directly.
  • Why isn't the medication I take listed in your medication directory?
    Prescription Match offers one of the most comprehensive medication directories available. If your medication isn’t listed, it may be due to a lack of sufficient clinical evidence linking genetic variants to its use. We base our directory on the latest clinical guidelines and recommendations from leading scientific and regulatory bodies, such as the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
  • What does Prescription Match do with my DNA sample?
    Unlike genetic tests that look at hereditary traits, we focus solely on specific genes associated with drug metabolism. Your DNA sample is used only to generate your report and is not retained or used beyond this purpose. Once the analysis is complete, your sample is securely destroyed.
  • Which medications are included in the Prescription Match test?
    The Prescription Match test assesses more than 275 widely prescribed medications, covering a broad range of therapeutic fields such as Psychiatry, Cardiology, Pain Management, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Immunology, Infectious Disease, Neurology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Pulmonology, Rheumatology, Urology, and Steroids
  • How can I check if my sample has been delivered to Prescription Match?
    Once your test kit has been received at our lab, you will receive an email confirmation notifying you of its arrival.
  • What is Pharmacogenomics?
    Pharmacogenomic testing is a type of genetic testing that helps to determine how an individual's genetic makeup affects their response to medications. The goal is to tailor drug prescriptions and dosages to each person's unique genetic profile to improve efficacy and minimize adverse effects.
  • What happens after I receive my Prescription Match results?
    After you receive your results, a licensed genetic counselor will reach out to you to review the findings and ensure they are effectively integrated into your treatment plan.
  • I'm not on any prescription medications; should I still consider taking the Prescription Match test?
    Absolutely. Taking the Prescription Match test now can be a proactive step. If you require medication in the future, having your genetic information on hand can help your healthcare provider choose the most suitable medication and dosage tailored to your genetic profile.
  • How long does it take to receive the results?
    After your sample arrives at our lab, the review and analysis process typically takes about 7-10 business days.
  • Is Prescription Match covered by insurance?
    Since we have made Prescription Match affordable we do not accept insurance. However, you can use funds from a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) to cover the cost of your Prescription Match test and seek reimbursement.
