Genetic Counseling Phone Consults
The cost for a genetic counseling consult is $200. This payment is required in advance of the appointment. If you and/or your partner/egg source have completed carrier screening, please email those results to genetics@seattlespermbank.com before the day of your consult. Following your appointment, the genetic counselor will send you a consult note that summarizes the information reviewed during the appointment. If you would like the consult note to be sent to your provider as well, please provide us with their email address.
Our genetics team is available to meet with you for a phone consultation. Our certified genetic counselors can answer questions about our donors’ genetic test results, family medical history, and more.
