Instructions
Step 1
Understand why you need to be tested. If we are talking about a suspicion of any genetic disease, then your doctor himself will give you a referral for the appropriate analysis. In this case, you will have to come to the laboratory with a referral from a doctor and a policy of compulsory or voluntary health insurance. Depending on which clinic you go to - public or private. Take the tests and get the results within the time specified by the doctors and give them to your doctor.
Step 2
For those who want to take a paternity test, it is necessary to take into account that the results of a private examination will most likely not be taken into account when considering the issue of parental rights. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, for example, with the payment of alimony, it is first necessary to obtain permission for examination through the court, if it is not possible to resolve the issue of kinship in other ways. Those who are not going to use the paternity examination as official proof can conduct it privately at any time.
Step 3
Find a clinic that performs these tests. There are quite a few of them, their coordinates are usually indicated in advertisements.
Step 4
Sign a contract for the provision of medical services. It contains your name and passport information. Also, the document should indicate the cost of the analysis. In 2011, it averaged 20-30 thousand rubles. Minors can only be tested with parental consent.
Step 5
Submit biological material for analysis. It can be blood - in this case, the analysis is submitted in a laboratory. Also, upon agreement with your doctor, you can bring biomaterial from home. These can be epithelial cells, which are collected with a cotton swab from the inside of the cheek, or nails.
Step 6
Wait for the analysis results. The usual examination takes about twenty days, and the expedited, for a fee, only five days.
