Below are the differences between a Legal DNA Test and At Home DNA Test.

Legal DNA testing requires:

  • An established chain of custody
  • A third-party sample collector
  • Testing performed by our partner AABB accredited DNA Testing laboratory.

At-home DNA testing does not require a chain of custody. Samples are self-collected, and you are responsible for shipping them to the laboratory. It is important to note that New York State prohibits at-home DNA testing.

No, health insurance companies do not cover paternity testing because it is a personal matter, not a medical one

A paternity test may not be accepted in court in two main situations: when a chain of custody has not been established, such as with an at-home DNA test, or when the testing was performed by a laboratory that is not AABB accredited or NYSDOH certified. For New York State residents specifically, both accreditation and certification are required in order to submit paternity test results as evidence in court.

Paternity testing accuracy is 99.99% and higher to determine the probability of paternity. All DNA samples are tested and analyzed by our partner AABB-accredited laboratory using at least 18 genetic markers. The accreditation ensures all genetic samples are tested at the highest industry standards.
