Patient FAQ

1. What is KYT?

KYT (Know Your Truth) is a comprehensive health testing platform designed to detect the earliest biological signals of disease through genomics, inflammation mapping, hereditary cancer screening, and pharmacogenomic testing—all from one simple blood draw.

2. How is KYT different from other genetic or wellness tests?

Unlike traditional genetic tests that focus on a single area, KYT integrates multiple key panels—Liquid Biopsy (LB), Hereditary Cancer (HerCan), Pharmacogenomics (PGx), and Ancestry—into one streamlined test. This gives you a more complete picture of your health and risk profile, helping you and your physician make proactive, personalized decisions.

3. Who is KYT for?

KYT is ideal for any adult seeking proactive, preventive healthcare. It's especially beneficial for those with a family history of disease, individuals wanting to optimize their longevity and wellness, or patients whose providers emphasize early detection and precision medicine.

4. What does the KYT test include?

Our core package includes:

  • Liquid Biopsy (LB): Early detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and inflammation biomarkers.
  • Hereditary Cancer (HerCan): Screening for inherited genetic mutations linked to increased cancer risk.
  • Pharmacogenomics (PGx): Insights into how your body metabolizes medications to support safer prescribing.
  • Ancestry: A deeper understanding of your genetic lineage and population-specific risks.
Add-on panels are also available:
  • Gut Biome – $400
  • Sleep – $50
  • Inflammation – $160
  • MRI Imaging – $1,500

5. How does the process work?

  1. Order: Your physician or KYT partner orders your test.
  2. Collect: A single blood draw is completed—at a physician's office, partner lab, or concierge visit.
  3. Analyze: Your sample is analyzed in CLIA-certified laboratories using leading-edge technology.
  4. Review: Results are reviewed by licensed genetic counselors and physicians.
  5. Access: You receive an easy-to-understand report with actionable insights and recommendations.

6. How long does it take to receive results?

Results are typically available within 10–14 business days from the time the lab receives your sample.

7. Will my insurance cover the KYT test?

At this time, KYT is a self-pay service to ensure complete privacy, transparency, and accessibility without the restrictions of traditional billing. Payment options and flexible spending (HSA/FSA) eligibility are available.

8. Is my genetic information private?

Absolutely. Your privacy is our highest priority. KYT complies with the HIPAA standard. Your data is encrypted and never shared, sold, or used for research without explicit consent.

9. Can my doctor order KYT?

Yes. KYT can be ordered by any licensed healthcare provider or partnered telehealth physician. If you don't have a provider, KYT can connect you with one through our network.

10. What makes KYT scientifically credible?

KYT partners with certified clinical laboratories, board-certified genetic counselors, and medical advisors specializing in genomics, oncology, and precision medicine. Our goal is to bring cutting-edge science into a simplified, actionable format.

11. Can KYT detect cancer?

KYT's Liquid Biopsy panel can detect circulating tumor DNA and other early biomarkers associated with cancer and systemic inflammation. While it is not a diagnostic tool, it can help identify early signals that warrant further medical evaluation.

12. How often should I repeat the KYT test?

We recommend annual testing to monitor for changes in biomarker trends and ensure early detection as part of your long-term wellness plan.

13. Can I gift KYT to someone else?

Yes! KYT offers gift packages—an empowering way to help loved ones take control of their health.

14. How do I get started?

Visit KYT or contact your KYT representative to order your test and begin your personalized health journey.

Physician & Clinical Partner FAQ
