Your mental health is unique.
Your treatment should be, too.

Only licensed medical professionals can order a Tempus nP test.

If you are interested in a Tempus test, you can ask your provider if he or she has heard of Tempus for pharmacogenomic testing. However, they would need to prescribe your test in order for you to complete it. They can contact us to learn more.

Your results will inform your provider about how your body processes or metabolizes different medications. Your provider may consider these results in deciding which medication to prescribe and at what dose. Your provider may also choose not to change your treatment based on the test results.

Your provider will fill out our order requisition form to order the test.

The Tempus nP test is done through a saliva test. Once your provider orders a test for you, you will provide a saliva sample and send it back to our lab.

Tempus obtains a saliva sample using a specimen collection kit. This kit can either be completed at your doctor’s office or we can ship it directly to your home after your test has been ordered by your provider.

Once we receive your saliva sample, it takes approximately 2 weeks to sequence and generate your report. The report is delivered to your provider.

The report will be sent to the provider who ordered your test, and he or she will discuss the results with you.

Tempus accepts all insurance plans. Prior to finalizing your results, Tempus will perform a Benefits Check to determine your estimated out of pocket cost with insurance. If this cost is expected to exceed $295, we will contact you and offer you options to reduce your out of pocket cost by opting for our self pay price of $295 or offering you the opportunity to complete our financial assistance application. To find out immediately if you qualify for financial assistance, you can apply online at access.tempus.com. If you have questions related to our billing process or financial assistance program, please call or text us at 312-598-9961 or email help@tempus.com.

Yes. Patients can apply for financial assistance online at access.tempus.com or call the Customer Success team at 312-598-9961 for immediate review regardless of insurance status. Patients may apply for financial assistance at any point during the process—even before the test is ordered.

It is important to talk to your provider to find out if a Tempus nP test is right for you! If you have not had success in finding a medication/dose combination that works well for managing your mental health, the Tempus nP test may be able to help.
