I am trying to find out how myself and a possible sibling can go about getting a DNA test done. I know there are the kinds u can by over the counter but i wanted to see if i can go to my doctor? This possible sibling could share the same birth father but wont know til we are tested.She is his daughter and he could be mine. I was never tested and he never claimed to be my father or even acknowledge me. I wanted to see if insurance covers this? All i want to find out if i am his daughter? and medical history. I dont need a father never had one and so bitter over it i dont want him in my life. Just wanted to see if we can have a test done at a doctors office vs over the counter and if insurance will cover because we are both over 18.
First you need to check with the insurance company you have coverage with as only they can answer this question. For me to say yes this is or no it is not would not be a true answer. What one insurance company may cover another one may not. I believe this to be extremely true with your question as to whether they would cover this test.
What you are asking for could also be called a paternity test. When talking to the insurance company make sure to use both DNA and paternity when taking to them. You might say; "would you cover a DNA test to settle a paternity issue", or wording to that extent.
