AAMA CMA Practice Question

A patient undergoing genetic testing for a hereditary condition has just received their results. They are concerned about their health insurer obtaining this information and potentially using it to alter their coverage. As a medical assistant, you must assure the patient about the confidentiality of their genetic information. How is the patient's genetic information protected under the guidelines you're required to follow?

  • The patient must sign a specific consent form for each family member whose genetic information might be included in their record.

  • The genetic information must be disclosed to life insurance companies if they request it for policy underwriting.

  • GINA mandates all patients to undergo genetic counseling before any genetic test results can be placed in their medical record.

  • Health insurers cannot make coverage decisions based on genetic information and cannot require genetic testing.
