The Kentucky State Senate will soon be voting on SB146, to establish the licensure of genetic counselors in Kentucky.

SB 146 would do the following:

• PROTECT the public by ensuring that those presenting themselves as a “genetic counselor” have the training and certification to do so.
• ALLOW for genetic counselors in Kentucky to become credentialed independently with insurance companies and to bill for services using the existing genetic counseling CPT code (96040).
• EXPAND access to genetic counseling services and increase the number of genetic counselors in Kentucky
