The specific test is expensive and they do not cover it with our single payer healthcare, so they don't recommend/do it unless they have to.

Understood, but using self-reported race is very inaccurate, so they are wasting money a lot of the time. Instead, a rapid ancestry test would be inexpensive (<$100) and would provide a much better guide to determine if the expensive test should be taken.

WHat test is it (if you feel free sharing)?
