Over 10 years in the making, there is now Medicare funding towards preconception genetic testing. Our discussion includes 
What is preconception genetic screening?
Who is a recessive genetic carrier? (tl:dr we all are)
How could I be a carrier for a serious genetic condition and yet not be aware of it through my family history?
Why has there not been a Medicare rebate before? 
When will the new Medicare rebate apply from? 
What will this mean in terms of choosing a genetic screening test? 
What is achieved by the panel funded for CF/SMA and Fragile X? 
What about the Ashkenazi Jewish screening panel and why is that separate?
Why should I consider putting my rebate towards expanded panel screening options? 
Results are relevant to a reproductive relationship - what does that mean?
