If this is your first visit to a genetics clinic at Johns Hopkins, the following steps will help you navigate making an appointment. From start to finish, scheduling an appointment may take up to 10 days, depending on the speed of insurance clearance, receiving records, and other factors.

Call our central appointment line at 410-955-3071. Our staff in the genetics office will walk you through the steps to making an appointment. They will collect general and insurance information about the patient and will send you a medical history questionnaire.

Complete one of the following medical history questionnaires, and fax the completed questionnaire to 410-367-3231.

Your primary care physician can help you complete the questionnaire. Genetic counselors review the questionnaire to determine each persons medical urgency and the appropriate medical providers to schedule the appointment. People with medical urgency who should receive appointments sooner than the general population of our patients include infants under six months of age, children whose physicians diagnosed them as failure to thrive or children who have lost developmental milestones.Generally, our next available appointments are four to six months from the time you first call our appointment line.

Our financial specialists will review your insurance information to confirm that it is active and will cover a visit with a medical geneticist, genetic counselor, dieticianand nurse. They will also help obtain referralsand will determine eligibility and coverage for genetic testing. You can help make this process faster by asking your primary care provider to fax a referral and records to 410-367-3231.

After your questionnaire and insurance status have been reviewed, our scheduling staff will contact you to schedule the first available appointment.
