NHGRI summary

No insurer may request or require an individual proposed for insurance coverage to submit to a genetic test without prior written informed consent. Further disclosures require additional consent. If an adverse underwriting decision is based on the results of a genetic test, the insurer must notify the individual. No insurer who lawfully possesses information derived from a genetic test on a biological sample may incorporate the information into the record of a non-consenting individual. Penalties for violations are set forth.
