Reliable Direction and Customized Tele-Genetic Counseling Solutions

Established in 2016, Advanced Tele-Genetic Counseling (AT-GC) is a woman-owned small practice that staffs board-certified genetic counselors to provide support to patients, providers, and organizations through telehealth.

With a shortage of genetic counselors worldwide, an increasing number of patients seeking genetic testing, the number and complexity of genetic tests entering the market daily, and the difficulty in staffing and affordability for genetic counseling care, Advanced Tele-Genetic Counseling offers a flexible platform and scalable genetic counseling solutions through a core group of licensed and certified genetic counselors to meet your organization’s needs for genetic counseling support.

Like the differences in our individual genomes that make us unique, AT-GC realizes that the needs of no two organizations are alike, and strives to provide customized solutions through our nimble and efficient approach to genetic counseling care.

We are dedicated to increasing access to and affordability of genetic counseling care and to increasing genetic health equity for all, no matter the location, anytime, and anywhere.

Rapid Turnaround

With patient consultations available within days of referral, AT-GC offers rapid turnaround and a drastic reduction in clinical wait times. Whereas the national average trends toward 3-6 months, we routinely see patients within 3 days or less. With dedicated AT-GC team members standing by, we’re here for your practice when you need us, even when unexpected.

Reduce Physician Liability & Free Up Time

Nearly 30% of the time,

requests for complex genetic tests are changed through correction or improvement following genetic counselor review, leading to substantial cost savings with canceled tests.

Outsourcing to AT-GC’s genetic counselors means that valuable physician time can be spent on other aspects of patient care while reducing your providers’ liability.

Scalable Solutions

AT-GC provides access to a team of certified genetic counselors with financially-conscious models that reflect our commitment to growing solutions together with our partners, allowing them to utilize our team’s expertise when and where they need.

Flexible, Customizable Integration

The nimbleness of our telehealth genetic counseling platform means that we are free to design and implement customized workflows, scheduling options, and reliable extensions for connecting with your team and patients while integrating into your existing systems.

Promote Local Retention, Prevent Patient Leakage

Personalized explanations and recommendations related to patient care are sent directly to referring physicians, encouraging continuity of care and ongoing health management within your existing system, encouraging patient retention through personalized genetic reports with suggestions for follow-up care, screening, and management.

Support, On Your Terms

Whether your team is seeking a systemwide, multidisciplinary, long-term genetic counseling solution without the risk of hiring, or needs a little extra interim support for your genetic counselor’s temporary absence, AT-GC is here to help. We provide truly comprehensive genetic counseling for all sorts of needs, including high-volume coverage, to reduce backlog and provide distant site/outreach support, and to fulfill accreditation requirements.

Patient-Centric Care

Patient-centric appointments address the genetic as well as psychosocial implications for patients. Appointments are not time-limited, but instead, are concluded based on the patient’s satisfactory understanding. We offer complimentary language translation and real-time counseling in multiple languages, including Spanish.

Expand Your Network, Increase Your Offerings, Support Your Patients

AT-GC provides a valuable addition to help complete your scope of service offerings while providing collaboration with a team of genetics experts through processes, technology, and workflow customized to meet your needs.

OUR PROCESS

Genetic Counseling with Advanced Tele-Genetic Counseling

Accessibility

Access to healthcare should not be dependent on where you live. With a long-term, global deficit of genetic counselors among increasing demand for genetics evaluations, AT-GC’s tele-genetic counseling support services are an essential tool for achieving health equity across practices, and for all patients. We are passionate about providing a solution by connecting patients and providers to qualified genetics professionals.

Affordability

It is our goal to help increase access and to today’s high-performing, knowledgeable genetic counselors for all who seek to know more about the influence of heredity on our personal well-being. AT-GC’s scalable platform translates into substantial cost-savings for our patients and partners. AT-GC is dedicated to finding solutions to support patient care across our communities for all who need them.

Efficiency

Telemedicine provides ease of scheduling for patients who may otherwise lack the ability, time, or resources to meet with an in-person genetic counselor. For practices and larger health organizations, partnering with AT-GC means no more unfilled genetic counselor positions, no training and overhead, and no problems with retention. We’re ready to help, anytime, and anywhere.

Quality

Patients who complete a genetic counseling appointment with an AT-GC genetic counselor report an accurate perception of their risks and say that the experience exceeded their expectations. There is no difference in patient knowledge or satisfaction compared to in-person genetic counseling. AT-GC’s genetic counselors are board-certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling and proudly uphold what it means to be a Certified Genetic Counselor.
