EAST MONTPELIER – A presentation on genetic testing will be held Monday, January 26. Medicare covers genetic testing only when it is deemed medically necessary. Unfortunately, scammers and disreputable companies are taking advantage of this benefit, billing for testing that is not needed or sometimes not even conducted. Jean McDermott from the nonprofit Senior Medicare Patrol Program will present the discussion covering, how genetic testing scams work, how to detect red flags, who to contact if there are concerns as well as how to know if someone may be a legitimate candidate for genetic testing. For more information, (802) 223-3322 or [email protected].
