VERDICT

Should I use GenPath Diagnostics?

Specialty diagnostics division of BioReference Health (OPKO Health) for women's health, oncology, and genetic testing - genpathdiagnostics.com

Depends. A credible specialty genetics lab if your OB, oncologist, or genetic counselor already orders testing through it. Don't seek it out yourself — pricing is estimate-only, and your insurance network should decide the lab.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 30+ public sources: mostly official pages, one Reddit thread, 37 Birdeye reviews, and news coverage. No independent security research found.

Coverage depends on insurer; verify network status before testing.

Financial assistance eligibility details aren't published — call to confirm.

Specialty genetics lab under OPKO/BioReference, not software. Fine if your doctor orders there; pricing stays vague.
