Medicare

The following are the total number of Ph.D. Medical Geneticists who accept Medicare in your State, the number who have opted out of Medicare, and the total number excluded from participation in Medicare nationwide.

The diagram below shows all the Ph.D. Medical Geneticists across the country, represented by blue bubbles. The larger the bubble, the greater the concentration of providers in that area. Red bubbles represent Medicare-excluded providers, with the larger bubbles indicating a higher percentage of excluded providers in that region. You can change the bubble size to be based on exclusions from the Size menu.

What do Ph.D. Medical Geneticists do?

Medical geneticists specialize in the study of genes and their impact on health. They diagnose, treat, and counsel patients with genetic disorders. 

What they do

Diagnosis: Identify genetic disorders through physical exams, family history, and genetic testing. 

Treatment: Develop treatment plans based on the patient’s specific genetic condition, which may include medication, surgery, or genetic counseling. 

Counseling: Provide support and guidance to patients and families regarding the implications of their genetic condition, including inheritance patterns, risks, and management options. 

Research: Conduct research to advance the understanding of genetic disorders, develop new treatments, and improve patient care. 

Areas of Expertise

Chromosomal disorders, Metabolic disorders, Birth defects, Cancer genetics, Neurogenetic disorders, and Developmental disorders.

Education and Training

Medical geneticists typically have a medical degree (M.D.) and complete a residency in medical genetics. They may also obtain a board certification from the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics. 

Environment

Medical geneticists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, research institutions, and universities. 

They may collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians, oncologists, and genetic counselors.

A molecular genetic pathologist provides information about gene structure, function, and alteration, and applies laboratory techniques for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for individuals with related disorders.
