Explanation:
1. The client should not be concerned because of a federal law prohibiting employers from discriminating based upon genetic testing.
2. The insurance company is prohibited from disclosing information to the employer.
3. The healthcare claim is not sent to the employer.
4. Federal legislation to prohibit discrimination based on genetic information in health insurance and employment (the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act GINA) was implemented in November 2009. As a federal law, GINA offers protection to Americans in all states.
