Indispensable measures to identify trustworthy genetic, genomic, and complex biomarker tests.
Indispensable measures to identify trustworthy genetic, genomic, and complex biomarker tests.
It is estimated that more than half of genetic and genomic tests being used by physicians fail to meet accuracy, validity, and clinical reporting professional standards1, 2, 3. What's more, billing fraud is also common 8. Physicians, payors, self-insured employers, and Laboratory Benefit Management companies (LBMs) often lack the rare domain expertise that would allow them to confidently determine which genetic, genomic, and complex biomarker tests follow professionally recognized medical and scientific standards, as well as billing standards. CGI's ELEVATEGENETICS services fill these gaps so that stakeholders can determine which tests are trustworthy, and which are not.
ELEVATEGENETICS® assessments are informed by professionally recognized standards and benchmarks from these organizations, when appropriate:
Regarding CGI's ELEVATEGENETICS quality assessment services:
- Blue Shield of California, a CGI customer.
ELEVATEGENETICS BRILLIANTTM is a best-in-class proficiency evaluation of the most commonly used Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) test types, scoring a test's accuracy. Competency is scored against professionally recognized standards for sequencing, variant classification, and clinical reporting.
ELEVATEGENETICS services can be ordered as one-offs, or can be combined and integrated into a larger quality control program.
Laboratories can also order ELEVATEGENETICS services to evaluate their own tests as part of their continuous improvement and marketing efforts.
Along with CGI's consulting services, ELEVATEGENETICS assessments are integral to CGI's work to help payors, self-insured employers, LBMs and health systems develop and operationalize an evidence-based and tailored Genetic Test Formulary.
