Patient Billing Information
After providing test results to your physician, MicroGenDX will bill most insurance companies for the testing. The insurance company will review the claim and determine your responsibility for deductible amounts and uncovered portions of the bill for each sample sent to the laboratory. Most MicroGenDX tests are covered by Medicare, select Medicaid, and private insurance.
Please be advised that, if contracted with MicroGenDX, your insurance will provide us the amount to bill you for the services rendered. This amount could vary depending on your plan deductible, coinsurance and/or copay, and may be higher than our discount offered to uninsured (self-pay) patients. If you have questions or concerns regarding your coverage, please contact your insurance company in advance. We offer a discounted cash price for those patients whose insurance is not contracted with MicroGenDX.
MicroGenDX is committed to ensuring that all physicians and patients have a complete understanding of our billing policies and receive all necessary information to make an informed decision. Our Billing Department is available for any questions or concerns regarding your MicroGenDX bill at at 1-855-208-0019 option #2. The Billing Department is open 8AM to 5PM CST Monday through Friday.

Billing Process for MicroGenDX Services
- Please call the phone number on the back of your insurance card for information on coverage of any MicroGenDX test.
- Upon Receiving the patient sample, MicroGenDX verifies insurance information, completes testing, and bills your insurance plan.
- Insurance providers will then mail patients an Explanation of Benefits (EOB). Please Note an EOB is NOT a bill from MicroGenDX.
- MicroGenDX offers a Patient Assistance Program which allows patients to pay in monthly installments until their balance is paid in full. Contact the Billing Department at 1-855-208-0019 option #2 with additional questions or to begin a payment plan.
If Insurance Provider Sends A Check to You Instead of MicroGenDX
PLEASE NOTE: Several BCBS and GHI Plans may send the check to the patient. Please write “Pay to the Order of MicroGenDX” and send that check directly to our offices at 2002 W. Loop 289, Suite 116, Lubbock TX 79407.

1. On a web browser search “[Insurance Company Name] appeal insurance coverage” Most companies will have a page detailing what steps you should take to ask for coverage.
2. Follow the instructions on that website.
3. If that does not work you can look for an email address or physical address and send them the following letter:
To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to appeal coverage for my recent MicroGenDX test. MicroGenDX is a laboratory providing a unique test that is not available through another lab currently in-network. MicroGenDX’s qPCR+NGS test is backed by over 70 peer review publications and is vital when culture tests fail to find the causative microbe in the infection. MicroGenDX tests for over 50,000 species of bacteria and fungi. MicroGenDX testing can help me get the antimicrobials I need to cure my life threating/chronic infection. My infection has been affecting my quality of life and the currently covered testing is not providing the answers I need to get better. I would like you to review this company again and agree to cover this testing.
Thank you,
Patient Name
