Employees weigh $30-a-month genetic screening benefit from employer
Start here
A workplace is offering genetic screening as an employee benefit, with coverage priced at $30 a month for an employee and spouse. The offer has prompted an online discussion among scientists and clinicians about whether such employer-sponsored genetic screening delivers value. The person weighing the decision is asking whether the $30 monthly cost is justified, but no conclusions have been reached in the discussion so far. Open questions include what the screening actually covers, how the results would be interpreted, and whether the price is competitive with direct-to-consumer alternatives.
