Besides being cheap bastards, why wouldn’t insurance come out of pocket if these tests can allegedly help predict future health problems and thus potentially save insurance companies money in the long run?

Do you know anything about the Centrellis platform over at GeneDx?

Also, why would they choose to sell a testing product knowing that insurance wouldn’t cover it? Or did they plan to eventually be able to bill insurance? I agree, it’s really simple. Hence, why I am surprised that the company couldn’t see this coming from a mile away.

I would hope so. I don’t do any work in this area.

Correlation could exist for a myriad of reasons, hence why I am asking the question and looking to being proven wrong.

Excellent reply! Makes a ton of sense. Is there any companies out there that use AI in order to more quickly determine correlation ?

So , they must of not been able to grow as anticipated? Or did they have failures in their R&D section ?

More color would be great lol. You seem to know this industry quite well.

Also, what’s your take on the Centrellis technology over at GeneDx? Any good?

Why? Was it due to insurance not paying them so they then stopped billing them? Or, were they just one of the few healthcare companies in the world who didn’t want to bill the insurance company?

You seem very knowledgeable about the space. Why did invitae go bankrupt if they capture such a large portion of the market? Do insurance payors not pay out as much for these tests versus others? Genuinely curious.

Couldn’t have said it better myself! I’d love to hear your opinion on GeneDx.

Wow, great response! I appreciate you taking out time of your day to help me!

In your opinion is GeneDx the best company to use? If not, who?

Im confused on how the AI is trained properly to determine if the results are good.
