NeoGenomics (NEO) shares were up 9% in Thursday trading after the company said its RaDaR ST molecular residual disease assay received expanded Medicare coverage to include immunotherapy response monitoring for patients with late-stage solid tumors.
The determination from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Molecular Diagnostic Services Program is the third Medicare-covered indication for RaDaR ST, NeoGenomics said Wednesday in a statement.
The coverage allows use of the assay to monitor response to immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy, and NeoGenomics said it has two additional RaDaR ST submissions pending.
