Piper sees early winners from annual list of new codes from CMS

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services published its annual list of new codes ahead of the final rate determination including 99 codes, Piper Jaffray analyst William Quirk tells investors in a research note. He says Genomic Health (GHDX), LabCorp (LH), Myriad Genetics (MYGN), Natera (NTRA) and Quest Diagnostics (DGX) look like early winners in the 2019 Preliminary Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule Fee Schedule determinations, with an incrementally positive competitive move for CareDx (CDNA). The analyst notes that Genomic Health received increased reimbursement for a couple tests and CareDx competitor TAI Diagnostics ends up with a likely longer pathway to reimbursement.
