    SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc., (NASDAQ:MYGN), a leader in genetic testing and precision medicine, was informed on Friday, November 1, 2024, of an updated medical policy from UnitedHealthcare restricting access to multi-gene panel pharmacogenetic tests, including Myriad's GeneSight test, under its commercial and individual exchange benefit plans, effective January 1st, 2025.

    After initial review of the updated policy, the company strongly disagrees with UnitedHealthcare's inclusion of GeneSight in its decision to change its coverage policy of multi-gene panels based on its rationale that there is insufficient evidence of efficacy to support coverage of GeneSight. Myriad is actively engaging with UnitedHealthcare to discuss the large body of evidence for Myriad's proprietary and clinically differentiated mental health medication test, GeneSight, and is seeking to ensure that enrollees continue to have access to the test.

    "We are surprised and disappointed by UnitedHealthcare's actions and reaffirm our conviction in the clinical validity and utility of GeneSight, which we believe is supported by clinical evidence, including peer-reviewed research studies," said Paul J. Diaz, President and CEO, Myriad Genetics. "We are amidst an ongoing mental health crisis and the primary care setting is where 70-75% of antidepressants are prescribed.1 Approaching 3 million tests to-date, the strong demand for GeneSight, a category-leading pharmacogenomic test for more than 60 medications commonly prescribed for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions, reflects the need for GeneSight as an important tool for healthcare providers, especially primary care providers, to help patients suffering from depression and anxiety to find the right medication treatment when historical trial and error methods have failed."

    The company does not believe that the updated policy affects coverage of GeneSight by UnitedHealthcare under Medicare Advantage and managed Medicaid plans. Myriad remains encouraged by recent favorable coverage determinations of other health plans for GeneSight based on its clinical validity and utility and state biomarker legislation. The company has no reason to believe that UnitedHealthcare's position on this topic impacts any other existing or previous coverage determinations for GeneSight.

    The company is scheduled to hold its third quarter 2024 earnings conference call after the market closes on Thursday November 7, 2024, and intends to provide additional information regarding its engagement with UnitedHealthcare and its initial views on the potential financial ramifications to the company of this policy change.

    About the GeneSight Test

    The GeneSight Psychotropic test from Myriad Genetics is the category-leading pharmacogenomic test for more than 60 medications commonly prescribed for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions. The GeneSight test can help inform clinicians about how a patient's genes may impact how they metabolize and/or respond to certain psychiatric medications. Tens of thousands of clinicians have ordered the GeneSight test for almost three million patients in order to receive genetic information that is unique to each patient. The GeneSight test supplements other information considered by a clinician as part of a comprehensive medical assessment. The clinical validity, clinical utility and economic utility of the GeneSight test have been evaluated in multiple peer-reviewed publications. Learn more at GeneSight.com.
