  In February 2025 I went for my doctors appointment. My doctor recommended genetic testing with my husband. I said I didn't want to do it without knowing the cost. She said that they wouldn't run the tests without first calling me, giving me the cost, and obtaining my approval. They did not call me, give me the cost, and get my approval. I'm now stuck with a very large bill I can't afford for both me and my husband, and neither of us ever received any results.

  Good afternoon, 

  In review of your account, I found that there is an issue with your insurance. Your insurance responded that the coverage on file is ineligible. We would ask that you please email a copy of the front and back of your insurance card to ********************** in order for us to get your insurance billed out correctly. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to include that in your email with your insurance cards or you can call us directly at 1-888-268-6795

  In March 2025, I went for my initial pregnancy scan. My doctor recommended genetic testing. I said I didn't want to do it without knowing the cost. She said that they wouldn't run the tests without the company first calling me, giving me the cost, and obtaining my approval. On the Myriad portal, my total cost estimate was $0. They did not call me, give me the cost, or get my approval. Now it's the end of April, and I get a bill in the mail for over $400. I wouldn't have consented the service if I would have known the cost upfront, which this company did not get my approval for. Very misleading and I plan to take this higher than just posting a complaint.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  This $0.00 owed is not reflected in my portal, and this does not settle both tests I have taken. I want to be sure that I have a $0.00 balance for both the Prequel Prenatal Screen and the Foresight Carrier Screen. When I log onto my portal all that’s stated for both is “your bill is being prepared or has been sent and is unavailable for viewing.” Until I get official communication from Myriad via Email stating that I owe $0.00 for both tests, I will not be satisfied with the response.

  Good morning, 

  After reviewing the account in question for ********* ***** I found that the pt was sent a cost estimate for 0.00 on May 14 and according to our records, that estimate was viewed by the patient. Our system did send out a bill incorrectly showing an amount owed, however 4 days later the system self-corrected and adjusted the balance to 0.00. We are not currently attempting to collect any owed balance as there is nothing owed.

  I am rejecting this response because when I called the company in May, they told me I WAS responsible for the balance (approximately $800) and that I should file an appeal with my insurance. They did NOT send me a zero balance letter. They can send me one so that this can be closed.

  A zero balance statement has been sent to the patient using the email address on file. It shows that the account balance is zero and I advised in the body of the email that the account is closed and resolved.

  My doctor recommended BRCA genetic testing from Myriad Genetic Laboratories, ********************************************** because my maternal aunt had breast cancer and her daughter had breast cancer and confirmed BRCA gene. My doctor explained that, if I had this gene, I could pass it to my children. I was particularly concerned because my son had a gene cell tumor as a young adult. Myriad sent me a message saying that my testing was covered by insurance and my cost would be $0. Now my insurance has denied coverage for this testing and they say that I can do private payment only if I sign up for it before the results are completed! This is very misleading and unethical business practice. This company should be fined or put out of business for this kind of medical practice.

  I consented to Myriad genetic testing after I was told it would be covered by my insurance at my yearly womens well check. Myriad sent me a cost estimate on July 17, 2024, that estimated my cost would be $0. I understood both of these things to mean that I would be charged $0. On August 19, 2024, I received a bill from Myriad for $1,208.04. I called the same day and was told that I owed that much because I hadnt hit my insurance deductible yet and because I owed a copay. If true, why would they tell me that my estimated cost was $0? I only consented to the testing because I was told it was covered. I was not expecting to be charged anything, let alone over $1,000. Really deceptive, as I would have told them not to do the testing if they had informed me of the cost instead of waiting to send a surprise bill after telling me it would cost $0.

  I was told that I would be called prior to them running my test to confirm I was okay with the amount. I was never called once i received no communication from them. I was also told my insurance covered the test and that my out of pocket would only be $244 but I just recieved a almost $3000 bill from my insurance which is absolutely insane! I would never agree to a test costing that much. It stated in my insurance bill that it was not covered even though myriad said that it was. I would never give the go ahead for that. Myriad is lying to it's customers and committing insurance fraud an I want something to be done about this! I am not paying that as I was flat out lied to. This is unacceptable.

  Hi *****,

  
     Thank you for reaching out to the billing department. I understand that some information from the insurance company may not be what you were expecting. If the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your health plan shows that the testing has denied or that you will owe a certain dollar amount, please do not be concerned.  We verified benefits prior to testing, and this is expected to be covered by your insurance.  If the claim has denied, we will file an appeal and will need some time to finalize the insurance billing.We will not bill you for more than the Cost Estimate that was sent to you, and you viewed on July 20, 2024, 8:14 a.m. PDT by email ************************* for $244.71.
  
  If you receive billing statement from Myriad, and the balance is more than $244.71, or presents any financial hardship, please call ************ or visit our website myriad.com and we would be happy to assist you at that time. Our business hours are Monday through Friday from 6 AM to 6PM Mountain Standard Time

  
  Thank you for contacting Myriad. Have a great day.

  My OBGYN recommended I get tested for the breast cancer genes as I am at increased risk. I agree to the testing and was relieved when I got a cost estimate from Myriad of 0.00$- Ok great! My insurance covered everything right? WRONG. I later get a bill in the mail stating I owe roughly 1700 dollars. At this point I am confused so I go into my email to open up the cost estimate link again only to get a message saying "estimate unavailable because your bill is already in process". Oh brother, so now I do not even have any proof that it had originally said zero dollars. Apparently insurance covered round 4k of the whopping 6k bill. This is really dissapointing because I feel lied to and taken advantage of by a large medical company when I was only trying to protect my health.

  As a first time preganacy (geriatric) my OB suggested to do genetic carrier screening and use Myriad Genetics for this screening. I was told by my practice that Myriad would reach out to me with an estimate of the cost. I kept getting texts from Myriad that my estimate was in- when I went to download the estimate the message recieved was that it was still in process. The blood draw was already happening at this point. Today I received a bill from Myriad informing me that I owed $1,089.76. My insurance paid $3,574.24. I was never shared what this original cost would even be.Myriad billed my insurance without any communication with me from the get go. There needs to be a better way.

  Hi ****
  
  Thank you for reaching out regarding your account status. Per review of the account your insurance covered the testing and applied the balance towards your cost share (Deductible).  I apologize that you were not able to view your Cost Estimate, but I do show you do meet the criteria for our financial assistance program for your balance to be reduced to $100.00 and have made that adjustment on the account. You can log in online and the new balance will be showing.

  At the strong suggestion of my physician, I elected to do genetic carrier screening in advance of getting pregnant. My physician's practice used Myriad Genetics for this screening. I was told by my physician's practice that Myriad Genetics would reach out to me with an estimate of the cost, and I received that from Myriad Genetics within a couple days of my blood draw. Myriad informed me that if I paid now and they did not bill my insurance, my estimated out of pocket cost would be around $229. Since I have insurance and I pay for that every month, I wanted them to bill my insurance. Approximately 5 months later, I received a bill from Myriad informing me that I owed $2,462.32. My insurance paid $1,035.22, and the $2,462.32 was my remaining portion that I personally owed. I called Myriad on 2/14/24 and asked them to explain this to me. So if I had paid at the time of service and they did not bill my insurance, I would have owed $229? Myriad said that was correct. But since Myriad billed my insurance, and my insurance paid, I still owed $2,462.32 and the company was going to receive a total of $3,497.54 for my genetic carrier screening lab work? Myriad said that was correct. This seems like a fraudulent and deceitful practice of operating on Myriad's part. To the consumer, the price is not clear and the rationale is flawed. I continue to receive bills from Myriad trying to collect $2,462.32. I am expecting a baby in a few weeks and would very much like to sort this out. I told Myriad that I was willing to pay $229 which is what they originally quoted as total out of pocket, but I cannot understand why I would be responsible for $2,462.32. I hope Myriad will fix this and make it right.

  Hi ****,
   Per review of the account, it looks like your insurance covered the test, but applied it towards your deductible and co-insurance. The reason why our direct pay amount is only $249 is it is the average patient responsibility with the contracted rate of the insurance of what is applied to patients cost share if they have met most of their cost share or meet financial assistance.
  Due to the misunderstanding on how the billing works, I have made a onetime adjustment on your account to meet the $249.00 price. You can go online, and the balance will reflect there.
  
  Thank you and have a great day.

  The practice that this business is using is likely costing less savvy healthcare consumers thousands of dollars because they assume Myriad would not be overbilling them.  I am a healthcare executive and trained to navigate the insurance and reimbursement complexity.  Someone without my background would most likely end up paying much more than they should for this basic service.  Thank you to BBB for facilitating and helping me come to a resolution.  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have paid the $249.
