Coverage RemovalNovitas finalized its 'Genetic Testing in Oncology: Specific Tests' LCD, removing coverage for Dx-SCC as of February 23, taking Dx-SCC off the table for an indefinite period.
Financial ImpactRunning non-paid tests will be detrimental to gross margins, despite Dx-SCC being broadly adopted by the dermatology community.
Uncertain FutureFuture coverage for DDx-SCC remains uncertain as Palmetto continues to noncover the test, and Novitas' decision on oncology LCD is pending.
