Over 10 years in the making, there is now Medicare funding towards preconception genetic testing. Our discussion includes
- What is preconception genetic screening?
- Who is a recessive genetic carrier? (tl:dr we all are)
- How could I be a carrier for a serious genetic condition and yet not be aware of it through my family history?
- Why has there not been a Medicare rebate before?
- When will the new Medicare rebate apply from?
- What will this mean in terms of choosing a genetic screening test?
- What is achieved by the panel funded for CF/SMA and Fragile X?
- What about the Ashkenazi Jewish screening panel and why is that separate?
- Why should I consider putting my rebate towards expanded panel screening options?
- Results are relevant to a reproductive relationship - what does that mean?
