Cigna Expands Commercial and Medicare AdvantageCoverage to Include Mdxhealth’s Select mdx for Prostate Cancer Test

Expansion of coverage with Cigna now includes full menu of Company’s precision diagnostic prostate cancer tests, representing more than 15 million lives under coverage

IRVINE, CA, and HERSTAL, BELGIUM – August 9, 2023 – MDxHealth SA (NASDAQ/Euronext: MDXH), a commercial-stage precision diagnostics company, today announced that Cigna has expanded commercial and Medicare Advantage coverage to include the Company’s Select mdx for Prostate Cancer test. With the addition of Select mdx, Cigna will now provide insurance coverage across mdxhealth’s full menu of precision diagnostic cancer tests, including its Confirm mdx and Genomic Prostate Score (GPS) tests. Contracted coverage with Cigna for the Select mdx test is expected to take effect in Q4 of this year.

Michael K. McGarrity, CEO of MDxHealth, commented: “We are very pleased to announce this expansion of coverage with one of the largest health insurers in the United States, which will cover both commercial lives and Cigna’s substantial Medicare Advantage population. Expanding insurance coverage for our precision diagnostic tests remains a strategic priority at mdxhealth, and today’s announcement reflects our commitment to deliver our full menu of precision diagnostic prostate cancer solutions, all of which are included in the NCCN Guidelines, to help improve the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer.”

In the United States, prostate cancer is the most common and the second deadliest cancer for men. Nearly 280,000 prostate cancers are diagnosed annually in the U.S.1, and 69% of these cases are determined to be localized cancers that require either active surveillance or treatment decision. There are approximately 3 million prostate cancer screenings conducted in the U.S. which show elevated PSA results. Approximately 500,000 men undergo biopsies annually, but 60% of biopsies do not reveal cancer and may lead to increased complications and hospitalization. Moreover approximately 30% of cancer-negative biopsies are false negatives, meaning these patients actually have cancer.

About Select mdxSelect mdx for Prostate Cancer is a proprietary urine-based mRNA test that offers a non-invasive method to assess a patient’s risk for clinically significant prostate cancer. Select mdx helps identify men at increased risk for undetected aggressive, potentially lethal, prostate cancer who may benefit most from a prostate biopsy and earlier detection. The test delivers a negative predictive value of 95% for clinically significant disease, helping to reduce the need for MRI procedures and invasive prostate biopsies, thereby reducing healthcare costs. The test has been included in the Early Detection for Prostate Cancer National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) clinical guidelines.
