Genomic testing is revolutionizing precision medicine, offering unprecedented insights into how your body interacts with medications and nutrients. MedBen Rx offers pharmacogenomic and nutrigenomic tests that can help optimize your employees’ health care and dietary choices – plus, if your plan doesn’t cover it, employees can buy the tests using their flexible spending account (FSA) funds!
Pharmacogenomic testing analyzes an individual’s genetic makeup to predict how they’ll respond to different medications. This test offers several key benefits:
- Reduces trial and error in medication selection
- Minimizes adverse drug reactions
- Helps determine optimal dosing
- Improves treatment effectiveness
- Potentially lowers health care costs by avoiding ineffective medications
Nutrigenomic testing examines how a person’s genes interact with different nutrients and dietary components. Benefits include:
- Personalized dietary recommendations based on the individual’s genetic profile
- Identification of optimal nutrient levels for their body
- Understanding of potential food sensitivities
- Targeted supplement recommendations
- More effective weight management strategies
