Access is one of the biggest barriers to healthcare in rural areas. Example: One regional cancer center in Eastern North Carolina was struggling to keep up with the increasing demand for genetic services among its diverse and dispersed patient population. Read what they did to eliminate its growing backlog and long wait times for patients needing genetic services. https://lnkd.in/gRMVCymY #genetics

Enabling a world where everyone’s health is informed by genetics
About us
Our mission is to enable a world where everyone’s health is informed by genetics. As a leading telegenetics care delivery company, we make genetics care accessible and actionable for patients throughout the U.S. and Canada through seven-day a week access to genetic services. We partner with health systems, genetic testing laboratories and biopharmaceutical companies. We accelerate, grow and provide service to their patients by launching genetics programs from the ground up, improving the scale and efficiency of existing genomic medicine programs, and providing genetic expertise and services to support clinical trials and sponsored genetic testing programs. With the largest national network of telehealth genetic counselors – averaging 10 years clinical experience – We have delivered more than 200,000 genetic counseling encounters, scaling to more than 8,500 patients per month and helping health systems expand network reach to more patients by delivering genetic care to patients anywhere, seven days a week. We are a covered benefit for 130 million people in the U.S. Through our nationwide virtual care delivery model, we provide genetics care to patients when and where it is most convenient, reducing patient wait times from as much as 18 months to one week. We have an extensive team of clinicians, including medical geneticists, genetic counselors, physicians and pharmacists. Our clinical specialties include oncology, reproductive health, cardiology, pediatrics, rare disease and proactive health.

Before the launch of a first-to-market rare disease therapy, a global pharmaceutical company decided to implement a genetic test result review program to ensure that patients whose healthcare provider submitted a product enrollment form had a genetic report consistent with the genetic indication and contraindication in the prescribing information. Because of the high complexity of the eligibility requirements, the company recognized the need for external genetics expertise to build and support a fully operationalized genetic eligibility verification program. Learn what happened when this company partnered with us to support its commercial launch! https://lnkd.in/gkfURd-W #lifesciences #genetics
