While next-generation sequencuing (NGS) becomes a common feature of clinical practice, global regulators and insurers have yet to come up with a unified reimbursement policy. Join industry experts in this free webinar to learn about the clinical and commercial reality of NGS cancer testing and their predictions for what lies ahead in the US and EU.
TORONTO (PRWEB) May 13, 2019
Even though next-generation sequencing (NGS) cancer testing has moved from a rarity to a common feature of clinical practice in recent years, reimbursement policies for NGS testing still vary widely among private and public insurers across different countries.
In the United States, both large commercial labs and large health systems offer NGS tumor testing, and it is anticipated that this landscape will change the availability of a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved NGS tumor panel. Meanwhile, healthcare systems in Europe are taking what is, in many ways, a very different approach to reimbursement of clinical sequencing with NGS. In France, for example, a network of regional laboratories will be reimbursed to provide molecular testing services. Similarly, genomic laboratory hubs will provide access to whole genome sequencing in the UK beginning in 2019.
