Myriad traded lower on ‘minor’ United Healthcare change, says Piper Jaffray

Shares of Myriad Genetics closed Friday down 4% after United Healthcare (UNH) added a Current Procedural Terminology code and simplified the coverage rationale on its existing medical policy for pharmacogenetics, Piper Jaffray analyst William Quirk tells investors in a research note. The updated policy does not include a review of the Genesight dossier/Guided study, says the analyst. He views the change at United Healthcare as “minor” and keeps an Overweight rating on Myriad Genetics. Quirk continues to look for positive Genesight coverage.
