1S-12, Genetic Testing - Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Next-generation sequencing, also referred to as next-gen sequencing, has revolutionized genetic research and healthcare by enabling the identification of genetic variations. This innovative technique involves determining the sequence of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA, in a beneficiary’s genetic code, which is known as DNA sequencing. Two commonly employed methods, namely whole exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing, leverage advanced technologies that enable the rapid sequencing of substantial amounts of DNA. These approaches have significantly propelled the field of genetics and serve as invaluable tools in the detection of genetic disorders.

Limits
Medicaid shall not cover whole exome sequencing (WES) or whole genome sequencing (WGS) for ANY of the following scenarios:
- 1. When the CCP criteria are not met;
- 2. For uncomplicated autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay, and
mild to moderate global developmental delay;
- 3. For screening during pregnancy to diagnose fetal conditions;
- 4. For testing an embryo before implantation;
- 5. For screening genetic carriers;
