Do You Meet NCCN Criteria for Testing?
[ Insurance Likely Covers It ]The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) publishes guidelines that most insurance companies follow when deciding whether to cover hereditary cancer testing. If any of these apply to you, your test is likely covered.
1. Personal history of breast, ovarian, colorectal, endometrial, or pancreatic cancer diagnosed ≤50 years old
2. Family history of BRCA-related cancer in first- or second-degree relative
3. Known pathogenic variant in BRCA1, BRCA2, or Lynch syndrome gene in family
4. Multiple primary cancers in the same individual
5. Triple-negative breast cancer at any age
6. Male breast cancer or metastatic prostate cancer
7. Ovarian cancer (epithelial) at any age
8. ≥10 adenomatous colorectal polyps or ≥2 hamartomatous polyps
Personal/family history meets NCCN criteria · Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry with family history · Personal history of ovarian, male breast, or pancreatic cancer · ≥2 breast cancer primaries in same individual — our team checks your insurance
