Hello,

Has anyone in the US on Medicare had the Guardant blood test and did Medicare parts A and B pay for it? Thank you.

Hi Nocillo I just the Guardant blood test done. Medicare paid for mine. Ask you doctor to have someone in the business office or nurse to find out for you

Thank you. Is it a single blood draw on one day?

It is just one blood draw. I had it done when I had my regular labs done. If Medicare and your supplement don’t pay for it your doctor and Guardiant will appeal.

Me, too. One blood draw at the time of regularly monthly blood tests, and Medicare covered it.

Mine was, yes. Took about 6 weeks for results as this test is only done in a specialty lab.

I have Medicare andjust had a mRNAS blood test from another manufacturer… but haven’t been billed yet. They said the result may take a few weeks and they didn’t tell me the cost. Let’s stay in touch!

Yes, I have Medicare A and B and also insurance I was able to keep from my former employer. I don't think you will have any problem having Medicare pay for it. Sorry I don't know how much my private insurance paid on it but typically they don't pay very much.

Medicare paid for mine. I did notice that they placed the vial in a box labeled Guardiant.
