Tailored Medications For Your Genetics
Welcome to Kohif PharmaGenix’s patient-focused portal, where your health is our top priority. We recognize that each person’s genetic makeup is unique, and so should be their medication. Just as a tailor customizes clothing to fit perfectly, our pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing personalizes medication to match your genetic profile.
Explore how our easy-to-use services empower you to manage your health with precision. Learn about the benefits of personalized medication and start your journey towards a more tailored approach to your healthcare.
How You Benefit From PGX
Our PGx panel analyzes your genetic makeup to uncover insights into your medication response. By examining specific genetic markers associated with medication metabolism, we can provide personalized recommendations tailored to your unique genetic profile.
Minimizing Trial and Error
Traditional trial-and-error approaches to medications can be frustrating and slow. PGx offers genetic insights that streamline the selection of precise medications from the start. Imagine your treatment beginning with what’s tailored to work for you, potentially saving you time and discomfort.
Medications Covered
Our PGx test covers an extensive range of medications across 17 specialties. Since your genetic profile remains constant, a single test provides results that can be used across multiple specialties, eliminating the need for repeated testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here, you’ll find responses to the inquiries commonly raised by patients.
How does PGx testing benefit patients?
PGx testing helps personalize medication choices, ensuring treatments are more effective and have fewer side effects based on individual genetic makeup. For additional information, kindly visit the following page why pharmacogenomics.
Is PGx testing covered by insurance, and what are the associated costs for patients without coverage?
We currently operate on a cash payment basis, and insurance is not accepted. The cost for our Comprehensive PGx panel is $299. This comprehensive fee includes testing, results interpretation, and ongoing support. Please note that the test cost is commonly eligible for reimbursement through Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA).
How is the PGx test administered?
PGx testing involves a simple cheek swab, eliminating the need for a blood sample. When the lab ships the kit to you, rest assured that it will come with comprehensive and easy-to-follow instructions. These detailed guidelines will walk you through the entire process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience as you collect the necessary sample for personalized genetic testing.
Can patients order tests directly, or do they need to request their healthcare provider to order the test for them?
Certainly! Patients have the convenience of initiating an order via our secure patient portal, “MyTailoredMed.”
Is every medication on the market covered by the PGx test?
The PGx test doesn’t cover all medications at the moment. You can check the following document for a list of currently included medications (covered meds). Keep in mind that PGx is an evolving field, and as strong evidence becomes available, more medications will be considered for inclusion.
How long does it take to receive the results of the PGx test?
Results typically take 3-5 days from the receipt of the sample.
How long are the PGx test results valid, and do I need to undergo testing for the same genes in the future?
The results of your PGx test are valid for a lifetime. Since genes don’t change, there’s no need to undergo testing for the same genes repeatedly. However, our system ensures that recommendations are updated automatically when new evidence arises. You will be notified of any updates to ensure your information stays current.
Do I have to be on medication to undergo testing?
No, you don’t need to be currently on medication to undergo testing. We offer preemptive testing, which allows for proactive insights into your genetic profile, guiding future medication decisions.
