Pharmacogenetics Policy Clarification and New Required Genetic Testing Form

Alaska Medicaid has issued a policy clarification regarding covered and non-covered pharmacogenetics testing (see Medicaid Policy Clarification: Pharmacogenetics Testing, available at https://manuals.medicaidalaska.com/docs/updates.htm). Genetic testing that is covered by Alaska Medicaid must be medically necessary and must be supported by a lab report and completed Genetic Testing Supporting Information form. The new form is available at https://manuals.medicaidalaska.com/docs/forms.htm.
