January 2022 – The Data Driven Point of View Newsletter. No FDA Regulation Exists for Prenatal Genetic Testing

Apr 13, 2022 | News

Does transparency and truthful marketing exist for the labs you have chosen as ¨preferred¨ for your prenatal genetic testing?  The New York Times recently published an article discussing how little regulation exists for prenatal testing for patients. This potential for misrepresented test results is potentially life changing for your covered members, as well as a large cost to your spending.

Problem:  NO FDA Regulation Exists for Prenatal Genetic Testing = Potentially Misleading Marketing Materials, Claims, and False Positive results for your insured members or patients you treat.

Solution:  Center for Genomic Interpretation (CGI) can assist by reviewing provided marketing materials to ensure the tests are being accurately represented.  The actual lab data should also align.  Let us analyze this quickly and inexpensively today!

Please take the time to read through the attached Data Driven Point of View newsletter, which will provide your organization a solution to this issue.  CGI can assist with this project, as well as with creating transparency with other ¨preferred¨ labs for multiple precision therapeutic areas, all of which are a large cost for potentially false positive, false negative or misleading results.  Please contact us today to set up a time to learn more and start the analysis of your ¨preferred¨ prenatal genetic testing labs.   Please email us if you would like to be added to the monthly email newsletter list!
