Understanding Genomic Testing Utilization and Coverage in the US

Medically appropriate genomic testing is inconsistently utilized
across U.S. states.

Payer genomic testing coverage policies vary considerably between
states and are inconsistent. However, coverage of many genomic
tests has been growing over time.

Favorable coverage policies do not always correlate with higher
utilization rates across states.

Inconsistent coverage and reimbursement policies remain barriers
to genomic testing access, but do not entirely explain inconsistent
utilization. Other access barriers need to be addressed.
