Immunovia AB published a preliminary payment determination implying a price of $897 for the IMMray PanCan-d test. CMS is a federal agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services that provides health coverage to more than 100 million people in the U.S. CMS sets the basis for payment for lab tests through the clinical lab free schedule (CLFS). CMS agreed with the recommendation made by the Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Tests (CDLT) Advisory Panel to crosswalk IMMray PanCan-d rate to code 81503, brand name OVA1, which currently has a price of $897.

After a period of public comment, CMS will finalize its basis for payment decision in November.
