Natera and CareDx Fined Millions for False Advertising Associated with Inappropriate Marketing for Testing

Apr 13, 2022 | News

—————

Genetic and genomic testing is NOT regulated by the FDA.  Whether your patients or loved ones are being tested for cancer, prenatal testing, rare diseases, etc., a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT), which 99% of genetic and genomic tests are today, are NOT being evaluated for accurate results.

Recently, both Natera and CareDx were fined for FALSE ADVERTISING associated with inappropriate marketing for their testing.*

How is a healthcare provider, insurance payer, or patient supposed to know if the genetic and genomic testing labs are providing accurate data on outcome and results?

Center For Genomic Interpretation can assist you in understanding if the lab you have chosen to order or reimburse is providing accurate results, including if their marketing message aligns to their actual test offering!  Elevate Genetics
