Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I receive my DermTech Genomic Melanoma Test results?
The entire process can be completed in as quickly as nine days. The average time from the start of a visit to receiving the results is 18 days. The average wait time for an in-office visit for similar testing is 34.5 days. By testing care online, you have results and an action plan in less than half the time it would take through traditional methods.
How accurate is this test?
If the biomarkers are not detected (meaning negative results), this indicates a greater than 99% probability that the mole being tested is not melanoma.
DermTech’s smart sticker captures virtually the entire surface of the mole, unlike a biopsy which typically evaluates only 1-2% of the mole.
Will my insurance cover the test?
Most patients pay less than $75 per DermTech Melanoma Test.
