Consent Options
Thank you for placing your trust in Sema4. We are dedicated to being a part of your healthcare journey and are committed to protecting your privacy. We have outlined directions below for controlling your consent preferences in terms of how your data and your sample may be used.
As a patient, you have provided clinical informed consent in order for Sema4 to perform testing on your sample. This means you understand the risks, benefits and limitations of the test being performed, and have given your consent for the performance of that test by Sema4. Copies of current Sema4 consent forms may be found on the Sema4 Resources webpage.
In addition to clinical consent, which was required to perform the test, you also have additional consent options. Please follow the instructions below to manage your preferences on these additional consents and take the desired action(s).
Using Sema4’s secure webform to change your consent preferences:
- Use of your de-identified Sema4 test data for research purposes
- Permission for Sema4 to contact you for research purposes
Please note: storage of your sample for future clinical purposes is no longer an option at Sema4.

If you have a Sema4 Patient Portal account, you have additional, portal account-specific consent preferences that must be managed within the Sema4 Patient Portal. The patient portal is also the easiest way to review your test results.
