Michael McGarrity, CEO of MDxHealth, commented: “We are pleased to report this very positive and important development for MDxHealth. We are certain that our clinical data for the SelectMDx test, adoption from our urology customer base and inclusion in the NCCN Guidelines merits coverage by Medicare. We look forward to continuing to advance availability of our test to current and new customers and patients entering the diagnostic pathway of prostate cancer. Our SelectMDx test, coupled with our ConfirmMDx® test post initial biopsy, presents a clinically actionable pathway for urologists and patients.”
