Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General Testing Questions

Q: Does health insurance cover paternity testing??
A: No, health insurance DOES NOT COVER any paternity testing. Since DNA testing for paternity is typically considered a private legal or personal matter, insurance providers do not offer coverage for these services.

Q: How long does it take to receive results?
A: Processing times vary depending on the test type. Most results are available within [2-3] business days. Expedited options are available upon request.

Q: Are my test results confidential?
A: Absolutely. We follow strict privacy policies to ensure your information remains secure. Only authorized individuals can access the results.

Q: Do I need an appointment?
A: Yes, we recommend scheduling an appointment in advance to ensure availability. Some walk-in services may be available.

DNA Testing Questions

Q: Can DNA tests be used in court?
A: Yes, but only legal DNA tests following a strict chain-of-custody process are court-admissible. At-home tests cannot be used in legal cases.

Q: Do both parents need to be present for a paternity test?
A: No, we can conduct paternity testing with just the alleged father and child. However, including the mother can increase result accuracy.

Q: How is a DNA sample collected?
A: We use a non-invasive cheek swab to collect DNA. No blood draws or painful procedures are involved.

Infidelity & Forensic Testing Questions

Q: What items can be tested for DNA?
A: We can test clothing, bedding, undergarments, toothbrushes, and other personal items for the presence of DNA.

Q: Will infidelity test results tell me exactly whose DNA it is?
A: A standard infidelity test only detects the presence of male or female DNA. To match a specific individual, a DNA comparison test is required.

Health & Lifestyle Testing Questions

Q: Can I take a health DNA test at home?
A: Yes, we offer at-home test kits with step-by-step instructions. Simply mail back your sample for analysis.

Q: Are food sensitivity tests the same as allergy tests?
A: No, food sensitivity tests detect intolerances, while allergy tests identify immune system reactions. If you experience severe allergic reactions, consult a doctor.

Legal & Immigration Testing Questions

Q: Do I need a court order for legal DNA testing?
A: No, but if the test is for a legal matter, it must follow chain-of-custody procedures to be admissible in court.
