Genetic testing is dynamic, fast-growing and highly complex. Unreliable coding, variable pricing, limited quality assessments and an ever-changing landscape of laboratories and tests result in disproportionate time and effort being spent on management. Yet errors, overpayments and waste are commonplace. Built on three key components, Magellan Healthcare’s innovative and comprehensive genetic testing solution enables health plans to manage variation and risk while reducing administrative burden and medical costs.
