DNA Testing
|
|
As another busy DNA season starts to rev up, the AGA staff is working hard to ensure results are returned in the most timely and efficient manner. In order to do so, staff continues to streamline the process of DNA submission, invoicing, and results reporting. This means simple changes will be seen by members ordering DNA tests over the next few months.
Also as a reminder the AGA operates on a cash basis. Therefore, as part of these changes, payment for DNA testing will be required at the time of DNA test order submission.
If you have any questions about the upcoming changes to the DNA test ordering process or about DNA test billing, please contact Kari White, kario@gelbvieh.org, or Kelli Retallick, kellir@gelbvieh.org, or call 303-465-2333.
