Frequently Asked Questions
What is my out-of-pocket cost to participate in the personalized prescribing program?
The YouScript Personalized Prescribing Program always includes a telehealth provider order with written and phone follow-up. You have two options for testing:
- $359 – The AccessDx PGx Profile that analyzes more than 120 variants across 37 genes:
ABCB1, ABCG2, ACYP2, ADRA2A, ANKK1, CEP72, COMT, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C, CYP2C19, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP4F2, DPYD, DRD2, F2, F5, FKBP5, G6PD, GRIK4, HCP5/HLA-B*57:01, HTR2A, HTR2C, IFNL4, MTHFR, NUDT15, OPRM1, SLC6A4, SLCO1B1, TPMT, UGT1A1, UGT2B15, and VKORC1.
- $459 – The AccessDx PGx Profile described above, plus HLA-A*31:01, HLA-B*15:02, and HLA-B*58:01. These additional genes are not typically needed unless you are taking these medications or your healthcare provider is considering prescribing carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine for seizure disorders or allopurinol for gout.

You can utilize FSA or HSA funds for the YouScript Personalized Prescribing Program.
Does the program evaluate me for hereditary (genetic) diseases or evaluate my ancestry?
The program only examines the role your genetics may play in how your body responds to medications prescribed by your healthcare provider(s). Only genes related to medication interactions are tested. This test is not intended to determine the probability of developing a disease or tell you about your ancestry.
How long are my YouScript personalized prescribing results valid?
Your results are valid throughout your lifetime. They can be used to provide your healthcare providers and pharmacies with ongoing guidance during the prescribing process.
Is my genetic data stored securely?
Yes. Your PGx test results will be made securely available via the YouScript portal. You can access your results 24/7 to view and to share with your doctors.
If I have additional questions, is there someone I can talk with?
Yes, we’re here to help! If you, your healthcare provider(s), or pharmacist(s) have questions, please contact the [xxx].
What is YouScript?
YouScript helps run the program by providing pharmacists with the latest guidance on how to understand test results to assess what medications or medication doses may work best for you. Studies show that the use of YouScript as part of clinical programs can help reduce emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and healthcare costs by reducing trial-and-error prescribing.
What will my results show?
Your results will help your healthcare providers assess if lower or higher doses, or different medications may be safer or more effective for you.
Over 99% of us have changes in our genes that can affect how we process many medications.
Think of how your body processes medications like a highway. Similarly, think of medications as cars that choose which highway or highways they drive on to leave the body, and sometimes, which highway they drive on in order to work how they should. Testing helps you and your prescribers better understand how your body’s genes make the highways that impact how the medications you take are processed.
Here’s how it usually works:
- No lanes (poor metabolizer): Medications can build up in the body, causing side effects.
- One lane (intermediate metabolizer): Medications can build up in the body, causing side effects.
- Two open lanes (normal): Medications are processed by the body as expected.
- Three or more lanes (ultrarapid metabolizer): Medications may leave your body too quickly for them to provide treatment benefit.
Your result report will contain information about medications that are impacted by your genes. Impact ratings are accompanied by evidence-based insights, which can be used by your provider to help assess optimal medications and dosing. Generally, medications reported in red impact rating categories should be avoided if possible. Medications in orange categories may benefit from modifications such as higher or lower doses or recommended alternatives.
This information should be shared with all of your prescribers moving forward.
Remember, never make any changes to your medications without discussing them with your provider first.
