| Changes to DNA Results Viewing and Invoicing |
|
As we move into another busy DNA season, the AGA staff would like to inform members of improvements being made to the DNA services. DNA results can now be viewed online by order number. Log into your AGA registry service account and navigate to the 'DNA' page. You can view status updates on individual orders and results contained in those orders on the 'Order Summary' page. Notifications that DNA requests are complete and results are ready to be viewed will be sent out to individual members. However, results will no longer be sent out via email. A change in billing procedures has also taken place. Rather than receiving an invoice in the mail for DNA testing, a charge on your account will be automatically billed and updated at the time of submission. Members will then be able to go into their account and pay the balance due for DNA testing via credit card. Members with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the AGA office at 303-465-2333 or email info@gelbvieh.org.
