    Pretty much as I expected. Don't expect any real traction until recommended in cllnical guidelines and and this will require publication of further research.
    At least they have acknowledged the need for this now and also admitted the unlikelihood of recovery of previous CMS test revenue.
    More fluff to keep the wheels on till then. Convenient to make a big deal about the lockdown affecting test throughput numbers but there will have been a lot of catching up to do in the latter 4 months - and this likely the reason for the trumpeted growth in that period.

    An interested bystander has brought this to my attention.

    • Publication of a white paper summarising the results from the completed user programs from five public hospitals in Singapore.

    We also await the PEB and Kaiser papers for additional validity.

    I see they are also now quietly acknowledging that tests will be only reimbursed by CMS when "medically necessary"

    We discussed this a few weeks ago. CMS definition:

    MEDICALLY NECESSARY
    Services or supplies that: are proper and needed for the diagnosis or treatment of your medical condition, are provided for the diagnosis, direct care, and treatment of your medical condition, meet the standards of good medical practice in the local area, and aren't mainly for the convenience of you or your doctor.
    ...

    The "standards of good medical practice" are those set by the AUA

    The AUA do not recommend the use of Urinary biomarkers.
