Galleri® Cancer Screening
The Galleri® test can screen for many of the deadliest cancers before they become symptomatic, including many of those with no recommended screening tests today. Galleri screenings may help detect more cancers early (based on modeled data). In a large clinical study, the Galleri test screened for a signal shared by 50+ types of cancer.

- Talk to Your Provider: A prescription is required. Speak with your provider about whether the test is right for you.
Cost: $749 for BMC patients (regular price is $949.) Most health insurance companies do not cover the cost. However, you may be able to use your flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA). GRAIL also offers interest-free financing.
The Galleri test does not detect a signal for all cancers and not all cancers can be detected in the blood. False positive and false negative results do occur. The Galleri test should be used in addition to healthcare provider-recommended screening tests. Review safety information on the Galleri website.
