TMC has partnered with the Mayo Clinic to offer virtual genetic counseling.
"It doesn't affect just them, it affects the whole family. There are many, many aspects to it," said Tucson Medical Center Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, Karen Narum.
"I usually have my patients prep by doing a deep dive and asking their parents, and family, about their medical history," said Narum. "The counseling, on the front side, looks at family and personal history, but it also goes into great detail about the pros and cons of having testing done," said said Narum.
"We're having more insurance companies get on board, but ironically, some will not pay for testing unless they've had counseling done and the counseling isn't always covered," said Narum."That's why this is a fantastic opportunity to patients."
