Pacific Edge Faces Medicare Coverage Challenges for Cxbladder Tests

Story Highlights

Protect Your Portfolio Against Market Uncertainty

Pacific Edge Limited ( (PFGTF) ) has issued an update.

Pacific Edge Limited has been impacted by the recent ‘Genetic Testing in Oncology: Specific Tests’ Local Coverage Determination, which has halted Medicare coverage for its Cxbladder tests in the US. Despite legal and advocacy efforts, the company has not succeeded in reversing this decision and will now focus on Medicare appeals and reconsideration requests for its Cxbladder Triage and Monitor tests. The company plans to continue working with partners like Kaiser Permanente and expects to maintain reimbursement from commercial payers. The decision is expected to significantly affect testing volumes, but Pacific Edge remains committed to evidence generation and pursuing available pathways for Medicare coverage.
