Does Alabama Medicaid cover genetic testing for EDS?
Alabama Medicaid has limited coverage for genetic testing. Coverage may require documented medical necessity and prior authorization. Keep in mind that hEDS, the most common type of EDS, is diagnosed clinically — there is no genetic test for it. Genetic testing is used to confirm rarer EDS subtypes.
