Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley
Reimbursement of diagnostic tests are a core component of Precision Medicine. Convincing payers of the medical necessity of a new diagnostic test can be challenging. Timely access for patients with the most compelling unmet needs requires the reimbursement environment transition to a transparent value-based model using fit-for-purpose levels of evidence.
