Frequently asked questions

How is the doctor consultation arranged?
Once your report is in your PingMeDoc dashboard we message you to pick a time. A PingMeDoc doctor goes through the report with you on a video or phone call, explains what each result means for you and what, if anything, to do next, then calls back later to see how the plan is going. It is included in the price and complements, not replaces, care from your own specialist.
Is there a charge for home collection?
The home visit by Thyrocare's phlebotomist is included. Any collection charge for your address is shown at checkout before payment, never after. You choose the date and slot before you pay.
When will I get my report?
Reports for this test are usually ready in 14–21 days after collection, from the laboratory's published turnaround. We message you the moment it is in your dashboard.
Can I change or cancel my collection slot?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp or call the number on this page, ideally the day before, and we move the visit to a slot that suits you. A fasting draw is easiest to move to the next morning.
Why does this test need written consent?
A genetic test needs your written consent, taken at your door before the draw. Results can matter to blood relatives, so the doctor consultation is part of how this test is delivered.
How much does the Fragile X Carrier Screen (Male) cost?
The current online price is ₹18,099. Review your booking total before payment.
Can I book this with other tests?
You can add available tests to the same cart. Review the combined preparation instructions and collection requirements with the booking team.
