Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issues preliminary payment rate determination for Immunovia's IMMray PanCan-d test

LUND, Sweden, Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunovia AB (NASDAQ Stockholm: IMMNOV) announced, that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published a preliminary payment determination implying a price of $897 for the IMMray PanCan-d test. CMS is a federal agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services that provides health coverage to more than 100 million people in the U.S. CMS sets the basis for payment for lab tests through the clinical lab free schedule (CLFS).

CMS agreed with the recommendation made by the Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Tests (CDLT) Advisory Panel to crosswalk IMMray PanCan-d rate to code 81503, brand name OVA1, which currently has a price of $897. After a period of public comment, CMS will finalize its basis for payment decision in November.

"Receiving the preliminary payment determination is an additional milestone on the previously communicated path for commercialization in the US. We are very pleased that the rate preliminarily determined by CMS appropriately values our innovative blood-based test for pancreatic cancer. While this does not represent a coverage determination to reimburse the IMMray PanCan-d test, it is an important step in the process of securing reimbursement for the IMMray PanCan-d test in the early detection of pancreatic cancer," said Philipp Mathieu, CEO and President of Immunovia.
