A paternity test is a DNA test that determines whether a man could be the biological father of a child. We all inherit our DNA (the genetic material) from our biological parents. A paternity test compares a child’s DNA pattern with that of the alleged father to check for evidence of this inheritance—the most definitive proof of a biological relationship.

The result of a paternity test is either an exclusion (the alleged father is not the biological father), or an inclusion (the alleged father is considered the biological father). For a standard paternity test, Health-Link guarantees at least 99.99% probability of paternity for inclusions or 100% certainty of exclusion.

Unlike in-home tests, where tested parties collect their own samples at their convenience, Health-Link's paternity test uses the Chain of Custody to ensure that you receive accurate and legally admissible results (accepted by courts and other government agencies). In all of our DNA tests, we: Run each test twice, following the most stringent procedures to guarantee accurate and conclusive results.
Complete testing typically in 48 hours.
Follow a strict Chain of Custody to ensure results are legally admissible.
Maintain confidentiality of each case using strict communication protocols.
Schedule convenient appointments close to your home or office through our comprehensive network of collection sites.

Tested Parties
In a standard paternity test, the tested parties include a child, the alleged father, and the mother (called a trio). The cost for this DNA test is $380.

The mother’s participation in the paternity test helps to exclude half of the child’s DNA, leaving the other half for comparison with the alleged father’s DNA. However, we can perform a paternity test without mother’s participation (called a motherless), which involves additional analysis, without any additional charge. Results are equally conclusive whether or not the mother participates. Motherless tests are guaranteed to have at least a 99.9% probability of paternity for inclusions and 100% for exclusion.

We also can test additional children or alleged fathers if needed; there is an additional DNA testing and analysis fee of $150 for each additional tested party.

Chain of Custody Process
Samples are collected using a Chain of Custody documentation process that ensures your results will be accepted by courts and other government agencies.

Special Paternity Testing Options
We often work with customers who would like to know the paternity relationship even before the child is born. We’re able to test prenatal samples in such situations. Alternatively, we can use umbilical cord blood taken at birth—this option is less expensive than the prenatal test, which requires special procedures performed by an OB-GYN.

We can also test unusual samples when the alleged father is unavailable or deceased. A viability test will be performed on the samples.

For customers seeking peace of mind without intending to use the results as legal evidence, we also provide the best in-home paternity testing in the industry.
