Genetic and Genomic Tests Requiring Precertification


Precertification is performed by CareCore National, LLC d/b/a eviCore healthcare (eviCore). Precertification review only applies to members for whom the Program is applicable. For additional information, refer to the current version of Medical Policy MA06.034, eviCore Lab Management Program.

The following list is a guide to the types of genetic and genomic tests that require precertification. 

Hereditary Cancer Syndromes


  • BRCA gene testing (breast and ovarian cancer syndrome) 
  • Lynch syndrome gene testing 
  • Familial adenomatous polyposis gene testing 
  • PTEN gene testing (Cowden syndrome) 
  • General cancer type panels (such as colon, breast, or neuroendocrine cancers)

Hereditary Heart Disease​s


  • Long QT syndrome gene testing 
  • Aortic dilation or aneurysm syndrome testing (includes Marfan syndrome)

Other Full Gene Analysis Testing


  • Cystic fibrosis full gene sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis 
  • PMP22 full gene sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis (Charcot-Marie-Tooth, hereditary neuropathy) 

Tests for Many Genetic Disorders Simultaneously


  • Expanded carrier screening panels (such as Carrier Status DNA Insight®, Counsyl Family Prep Screen, Pan-Ethnic Carrier Screening)
  • Hearing loss panels 
  • Intellectual disability panels 
  • Noonan spectrum disorders panels

Specialty Oncology Tests


  • Cancer gene expression or protein signature tests (such as OncotypeDX®, MammaPrint®, Afirma®, Prosigna®, HeproDX™) 
  • Tumor molecular profiling (such as FoundationOne®, neoTYPE™, OncoPlexDx®, and many others) 
  • Tissue of origin testing (for cancer of unknown primary) 
  • PCA3 testing for prostate cancer

Pharmacogenomic Tests 


  • Cytochrome P450 metabolism gene testing (CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19)
  • Specialized drug response gene panels (such as Assurex GeneSight®, GeneTrait, Genecept®, Millennium PGTSM
  • Warfarin response testing 
  • MGMT methylation analysis for glioblastoma

Other Specialty Tests


  • Coronary artery disease risk testing (such as CorusCAD®, CardioIQ®, APOE, ACE, KIF6) 
  • Heart disease risk testing (such as CorusCAD®, CardioIQ®, APOE, ACE, KIF6, MTHFR)

Genome-Wide Tests


  • Microarray studies 
  • Whole exome testing 
  • Whole genome testing 
  • Mitochondrial genome or nuclear testing

ANY genetic test for more than one gene or condition (often includes words like “panel" or “comprehensive" in the name)

ANY genetic test that will be billed with a Non-Specific Procedure Code


  • Billed with CPT® codes 81400-81408 
  • Billed with an unlisted code: 81479, 81599, 84999

The following are the specific CPT and HCPCS codes for genetic and genomic tests that require pre-service reviews by CareCore National, LLC d/b/a eviCore healthcare (eviCore).
