What kind of appointment should I ask about?

Understanding a result or family risk

Ask whether the service provides genetic counseling for your question and age group.

Assessment of a possible genetic condition

Ask your usual clinician about referral to clinical genetics or the relevant disease specialty.

A known condition needing ongoing care

Ask whether the clinic has experience with the condition and coordinates the specialties involved.

These are questions to ask, not a triage decision or a promise that a service will accept a referral. MedlinePlus: finding a genetics professional ↗

Before booking: a practical checklist

Does this clinician or clinic see my condition, age group and type of genetic finding? Do I need a referral, and can my regular clinician send it? Are appointments in person or remote, and is the clinician authorized to see patients where I live? What are the fees, insurance requirements, expected wait and language options? Which records should I bring, and how can I send them securely?
