NY State Law
New York State Public Health Law and Regulations require that samples that are collected from patients within New York State be tested by a clinical laboratory that holds proper New York licensing. Due to the rarity of many genetic conditions, laboratories may not hold proper licensing for all testing options available. However, there can be justification for requesting laboratory testing from a facility that does not hold the specific disease testing permits.
For providers in New York, please call 866-354-2910 or email Genomics@revvity.com for sample submission instructions.

How to order
1. Placing your order
Select the correct test for your patient and fill out the Anemia ID Requisition Form.
- Please make sure that all sections are completed, and that the patient has signed the informed consent form.
Agios is partnering with InformedDNA to provide free genetic counseling to your patients with suspected hereditary anemias.
InformedDNA is a tele-health genetic counseling provider. Their genetic counselors have expertise in hereditary anemias and hold appointments with patients over the phone. After you refer a patient to InformedDNA, the genetic counselors will handle the process every step of the way.

2. Collect and send specimen
1. Obtain a sample for testing from the patient using one of the provided Revvity Omics test packs. If you do not have a kit available in your office, please contact us here and we can have one sent to your office.
- Ensure that the patient sample is labeled with the patient’s name and date of birth.
- Please note that the Anemia ID next-generation sequencing panel requires either a saliva or whole blood sample.
2. Samples may be submitted without a collection kit by following the guidelines for specimen requirements and completed the requisition form.
- Package the patient sample, informed consent, and test requisition form back into the test kit, and utilize the included pre-paid shipping label to return the kit to Revvity Omics for processing.
- Since a patient’s clinical presentation is an essential part of fully interpreting genetic test results, we ask that you kindly include any applicable medical records or clinical notes with the sample at the time of test submission.
- As Anemia ID is a free testing program, remind billing staff that patients should not be charged for testing costs.
3. Results
Once Revvity Omics receives the sample, you will receive a phone call to report abnormal findings, with a written report to follow within the established turnaround time for the ordered test.
- What is genetic testing and how can it help me or my child?
Ans: Genetic testing uses laboratory methods to look at your genes, which are the DNA instructions you inherit from your mother and your father. Genetic tests may be used to identify increased risks of health problems, to choose treatments, or to assess responses to treatments.
- How can I order this testing?
If a healthcare provider wants to order a testing kit directly to their practice, they can complete the test kit order form on AnemiaID.com. If a provider has any questions about ordering testing, the provider may call the customer service line at 866-354-2910.
- What if I do not live in the US and want testing through the Anemia ID?
The Anemia ID is only available to healthcare providers in the US.
- How do I find a healthcare provider to order testing?
Your healthcare provider should be your first point of contact to oversee your symptoms and inherent health. If you’ve been diagnosed with chronic anemia, you may want to ask your primary care physician for a referral to a hematologist (a doctor that specializes in blood disorders). The National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) may be able to help you identify a genetic counselor.
Additionally, Agios is partnering with InformedDNA to provide free genetic counseling to patients with suspected hereditary anemias. Your healthcare provider can click here to refer a patient for genetic counseling and testing.
- How do I send a sample?
Please ask your healthcare provider to order your sample collection pack for you. The sample may include saliva or blood based on the testing being requested. Sample type requirements can be determined by reviewing specimen requirements.
- Can I send in a sample without paperwork or paperwork without a sample?
We prefer those samples and paperwork always be sent in together within the same shipping container. Shipping the sample and paperwork within the same shipping container ensures there are no delays when receiving and testing your sample.
- What paperwork is required to submit my sample? Who completes this information?
The paperwork required for sample testing includes a test requisition form and informed consent form. The test requisition form will be completed by your healthcare provider and includes your information, test(s) requested, clinically relevant information, and your healthcare provider’s signature. The informed consent form should be reviewed and signed off by the individual whose sample will be collected for testing. In the case of a minor, the patient’s parent or authorized guardian must sign on behalf of the minor being tested.
- How will I receive my results?
A report will be sent to your provider via fax or securely encrypted email as soon as it is ready. You should have a plan with your provider and/or a genetic counselor to review your results when they are ready. The National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) may be able to help you identify a genetic counselor.
- Why haven't I received my results yet?
There are several factors impacting the delivery of results. If you have not received a call from your provider or specialist, please contact them directly for an update on the status of your sample.
- What if I want to have my results shared with a specialist beyond the healthcare provider requesting the information?
The test requisition form allows for additional providers to receive a copy of the test results. When the test(s) is being ordered, ask your healthcare provider to include the additional provider’s information in the “Additional Provider/Genetic Counselor” section of the test requisition form.
- I have an issue with my results. Who should I contact?
For assistance interpreting your results, please contact your physician who ordered the testing or seek out a genetic counselor in your area. Revvity Omics cannot discuss results with patients directly, but you may urge your physician to contact our customer service line with any issues. The National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) may be able to help you identify a genetic counselor.
- Who is a healthcare provider?
A healthcare provider is a legally authorized individual who can order testing (also referred to as a “provider”). Depending on local laws, this can be a medical doctor such as a hematologist, a nurse practitioner, a certified genetic counselor, or a physician’s assistant.
This testing service has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Testing services may not be licensed in accordance with the laws in all countries.
