We are proud to offer personalized medication treatment through genomic testing. As part of the evaluation, Dr. Freerksen can order your genome to be mapped from a cheek swab that you provide to Genesight. The Genesight report analyzes genes related to the metabolism of certain medications. Variations in these genes can affect how your body reacts to certain medications. This information helps you and Dr. Freerksen more finely tune your medication dosages, and know how your body may have atypical reactions to certain medications.
Ultimately, Genesight testing seeks to provide safer and more effective medication treatment tailored to you. Payment is made directly to Genesight, Medicare and Medi-Cal usually pay for testing in its entirety. Dr. Freerksen does not charge extra fees beyond discussing results with you.

How We Process Fees
As of May 3, 2021, session payment is made by credit card or FSA card through our PCI security compliant credit card system. We ask for 48 hours or more advance notice for cancellations. The credit card is charged for the visit the day of the appointment (usually in the morning), in order to prioritize clinical issues during the session. If emergent factors led to the patient’s absence at a scheduled appointment and the appointment was not canceled before the card was charged, the fee will be applied to future sessions. Refunds are automatically extended if Reclaim Joy Medical cancels the appointment after the card has been charged.
