Glycominds is committed to excellent service to you and your physicians, providing the most advanced clinical lab technology and reporting system. The gMS® are innovative tests that use a blood sample to help doctors finalize a diagnosis and manage the care of Multiple Sclerosis. When used together with standard clinical assessments, gMS® tests can help assist your doctor in deciphering whether or not you have MS, and if you have a high probability for rapid disease progression at the time your blood is drawn.
The gMS® tests are performed on the serum separated from your blood after a regular blood draw. Similar to other laboratory tests, the gMS® tests must be ordered by an authorized healthcare provider.
If you have determined that you may be a potential candidate for the gMS® tests, you may want to talk with your doctor about the possibility of getting tested, and for a list of questions and observations that may assist you in your discussions with your doctor about the gMS® tests.
If your doctor has ordered the tests, you do not have to do a thing but hold out your arm. You will either be sent to a laboratory, or a phlebotomist will make arrangements to come to your home to draw a blood sample.
Costs:
If you and your doctor agree that the test is right for you, you will likely want to find out if the test is covered by your insurance. Our gMS® Co-Pay Advantage™ program ensures that insured patients will not have to pay any amount from their deductible.
Medicare & Medicaid patients will only be charged the regular copay. If you are uninsured, we may be able to assist you via our special program.
