Colorectal Cancer & Lynch Syndrome Testing

Compare Lynch syndrome and hereditary colorectal cancer testing options by specimen, turnaround time and USD price, with counselor-verified booking.

Testing in this cluster is intended for people whose personal or family history raises a hereditary colorectal cancer question, including suspected Lynch syndrome. A first-line panel is usually the starting point; reflex or expanded testing is used when microsatellite instability or family history keeps the differential open. A genetic counselor reviews every booking.

Clinical FAQ

Collection kits ship after your booking is verified. A blood draw of about 2 mL in an EDTA tube is standard; the exact volume is listed on your kit insert. Keep the tube at the temperature listed on the kit insert and return it with the prepaid courier. If collection looks difficult, contact us first so we can plan the right tube and volume.

Coverage varies by plan and indication. On request we provide the test name, CPT codes and a medical-necessity letter so your insurer or employer can complete pre-authorization before collection. Final coverage decisions rest with your payer.

CPT codes depend on the assay and any add-on analysis for hereditary colorectal cancer testing; the exact code set appears on your quote and lab requisition. Ask your counselor for the codes before submission so claims are not rejected.

Genetic counseling is recommended — and required before some assays — so the limitations and possible outcomes are understood before collection. A GGC DNA counselor reviews every booking and can join your clinician consult on request.
