Rigorous, provider-friendly guidelines reduce abrasion and drive adoption
New genetic tests enter the market every day, making it difficult to keep pace with change and determine which should be covered in your plan’s policies.
The guidelines must address many factors in the face of rapidly changing genomic science and a rapidly changing test landscape. This is further complicated by the cross-specialty relevance of genetic tests. Adopting a clinical specialty-based — rather than a gene- or test-based — approach to policy development represents a paradigm shift for most health plans. Traditional clinical utility frameworks are difficult to apply to genomics because they focus only on the amount and strength of research-based evidence — which is often limited in genomics.
To address the scarcity of outcomes evidence and clinical specialty-centric view needed, our clinical guidance evaluates the most current evidence in the context of clinically important factors. These include professional guidelines and expert opinion, clinical availability of comparable alternatives, personal utility, downstream costs, risk of overutilization, and risk of harm, all of which impact coverage assessment.
Once condition-specific guidelines are written, they are deployed in a systematic approach that ensures the policies evolve based on changing science and with real-world applications in mind.
