Ubiome
We’re excited to announce that SmartGut™, the world’s first sequencing-based clinical microbiome test, is now available in all 50 US states* starting today.
Request your clinical collection kit today - it’s quick and easy.
Request your kit
All you have to do login (or create a new account), click "Request a test," and answer a few questions about your current health status. From there, we will work with a physician in our care coordination network to review your test request. If ordered, we will send a SmartGut Collection Kit directly to you.
Your results are processed in our CLIA-licensed, CAP-accredited lab and sent to both you and your physician.
For a limited time, as part of the SmartGut pilot program, uBiome will bill your insurance company for your tests, but any costs not covered by your insurance company will be covered by uBiome. This means NO balance bill will be issued to you, the patient.
Many conditions are associated with imbalances in the composition of the gut microbiome. Patients with the following conditions may benefit from clinical gut microbiome analysis:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Metabolic Disorder
Patients interested in optimizing gut health
We excited to offer this test to you during our pilot period. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help!
Yours in bacteria,
The uBiome Team
* Patients in New York must confirm their sample is physically collected outside of New York State.

SmartGut™ is a clinical laboratory test ordered by healthcare providers for patients with chronic gut conditions. It detects 26 bacterial targets at a high level of accuracy to better understand: 1) if there are specific pathogens present that might be causing illness, 2) the balance of commensal and beneficial bacteria that may be contributing to your symptoms, and 3) risk factors relating to the microbiome.

The registration required insurance information and didn't indicate anywhere that it was at no cost. Is the free testing period over?

But if it's free why would they ask for your insurance information? I'm sure my insurance wouldn't normally cover this type of testing and I don't want to have a surprise bill. I sent an email to their customer service but didn't get a reply.

free test?
Does the free test test for the same things as the Enterolab in Texas?

Robin,
No, this test is apparently a test for the presence of certain gut bacteria. (Probably a DNA-based test). The gut microbiome may or may not have a bearing in MC, that remains to be seen. No effect has actually been proven so far. This is completely different from the EnteroLab tests. Enterolab tests for IgA antibodies to certain foods, information that is vitally important for treating MC.
Oops! Sorry. I see that deb has already answered your question. I type so slowly that my responses are often too late. LOL.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
