The privacy issue still exists in this scenario.

All doctors (including concierge) use 3rd party services for practically everything from blood work to imaging to application products. It’s safe to say that it’s very likely that they’ll outsource the genetic testing to a 3rd party

All of them need to follow HIPAA. That's as close to a protection as you can get right now.

That's the best advice. I have seen some genetic test results. They are not simple to interpret and it is not easy to know what to test for- every person has natural defects and mutations which not always translates to real diseases.
