Location Map
The Missoula, Montana TestMark DNA site is at 2819 Great Northern Loop, a medical office building off Mullan Road near North Reserve Street. It is one of only two TestMark DNA sites in Montana; the other is in Billings.
A medical office building at 2819 Great Northern Loop, a few blocks from North Reserve Street, houses Missoula's TestMark DNA collection site, alongside clinics, therapists, medical equipment suppliers and other health businesses, with parking on site. Mullan Road runs just past the building, and the state office complex on Palmer Street is a couple of blocks away. This is one of only two TestMark DNA sites in Montana; the other is in Billings, and the closest ones to the west are across the Idaho line in Coeur d'Alene, Hayden and Post Falls, more than 140 miles away. Kalispell, Hamilton, Polson, Butte and Helena have no site of their own, and the Missoula site is the closest TestMark DNA site to each of them, which makes DNA testing in Missoula a regional trip for much of western Montana.
Mountain Line's Route 2, which runs between Providence St. Patrick Hospital, Great Northern Avenue and Southgate Mall, serves nearby Great Northern Avenue for riders without a car. Montana's Child Support Services Division has its Missoula regional office at 2675 Palmer Street, in that nearby state office complex, which is useful if a test result is part of a support case. District court filings go to the Clerk of District Court in the Missoula County Courthouse at 200 West Broadway.
In Missoula, TestMark DNA is at 2819 Great Northern Loop, one of only two TestMark sites in Montana.

The Sample Is a Painless Cheek Swab
Collection takes about a minute. A trained technician rubs a soft cotton swab on the inside of the cheek for each tested party. No needles, no blood, no fasting required.
Plan for 15–30 Minutes on Site
Most visits to 2819 Great Northern Loop in Missoula take under 30 minutes from check-in through sample collection, including the chain-of-custody paperwork completed in person.
Your Collection Is Scheduled by TestMark DNA

Children Can Be Tested at Any Age
Infants, toddlers, and minors are all eligible. The cheek swab is the same regardless of age. For legal tests involving a minor, the custodial parent or legal guardian must be present to sign the chain-of-custody form.

Pricing & Payment
DNA test pricing in Missoula, Montana depends on the specific test you need. Call TestMark DNA for a free consultation. We will confirm the exact price for your situation before you visit the collection site.
Pricing Varies by Test Type
Paternity, maternity, sibling, grandparent, immigration, and home kit tests are each priced differently. Legal (court-admissible) tests cost more than personal-knowledge tests because they include chain-of-custody documentation.

DNA paternity and relationship testing is classified as a non-medical test and is not reimbursed by health insurance plans. Payment is collected directly at the time of testing.
Free Consultation
We walk you through pricing on the phone before you commit. There is no charge to call, no charge to ask questions, and no obligation to book a test after the consultation.
Discounts for Multiple Parties
Tests that involve additional parties (for example, a paternity test that also includes the mother, or sibling tests with multiple siblings) often qualify for a per-person discount. Confirm by phone before your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get a DNA paternity test in Missoula, Montana?
TestMark DNA has a certified collection site at 2819 Great Northern Loop, Missoula, Montana 59808. We schedule chain-of-custody (legal) collections here for you, and results are typically returned in 3 to 5 business days.
Do I need a doctor's order or court order for DNA testing in Montana?
A doctor's order is generally not required. However, if you are a New York State resident, a prescription, court order, or ordering by other authorized persons is required by state law for all DNA identity or relationship tests.
Can DNA testing be done without the mother present?
Yes. A DNA paternity test can be performed without a sample from the child's biological mother. Including the mother's sample is preferred when possible as it improves accuracy.
How long do DNA test results take near Missoula?
Results for a standard DNA paternity test are typically returned within 3 to 5 business days from when all samples are received at the laboratory.
Is DNA testing confidential?
Yes. All samples are packaged in tamper-proof bags and processed at an accredited laboratory with restricted access. Results are shared only with authorized individuals and are never released over the phone.
What type of sample is collected for a DNA test?
The standard sample is a buccal swab - a cotton swab rubbed gently inside the inner cheek. It is painless, non-invasive, and provides the same accuracy as a blood sample.
Will DNA test results be accepted in court?
Results from a legal DNA paternity test performed at an accredited facility may be accepted in court, provided the chain-of-custody form was completed according to laboratory guidelines. Non-legal test results are not intended for court use.
Is DNA paternity testing covered by health insurance?
DNA paternity testing is considered a non-medical test and is not covered by health insurance plans.
Is there a TestMark DNA site in Kalispell, Butte or Helena?
No. The Missoula site at 2819 Great Northern Loop is one of only two TestMark DNA sites in Montana; the other is in Billings. The nearest sites to the west are in northern Idaho.
