LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cynvenio Biosystems, Inc. announced today that it will be accepting payment for its ClearID Breast Cancer test under most health insurance plans including Aetna, UnitedHealth Group, Cigna, Assurant, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Humana, Kaiser Permanente and various Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO), with the exception of Medicaid.
The ClearID Breast Cancer blood test uses DNA sequencing to assess breast cancer patients in the context of targeted therapy and to dynamically measure their response to treatment at the molecular level. ClearID is useful for monitoring patients without incurring radiation exposure, and when tissue biopsy is too difficult or risky to obtain.
“Today marks a critical milestone for ClearID. We continue to push the envelope in reducing out-of-pocket costs so that more patients and physicians can access this genomic test and benefit from improved therapy selection and more individualized treatment plans,” said André de Fusco, CEO of Cynvenio. “ClearID will now be accessible to many more patients and physicians seeking critical knowledge on approved cancer therapies, drugs in development and the active clinical trials that may help improve outcomes.”
Effective immediately Cynvenio will submit ClearID claims to payers, including Medicare, and work with physicians in any claims appeal process. Physicians may download requisition forms and order the ClearID test at www.cynvenio.com/order-clearid/.
