MDxHealth is a healthcare company that provides actionable molecular diagnostic information to personalize the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It has been awarded a US Government Services Administration supply contract to use ConfirmMDx for Prostate Cancer within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The five-year contract provides coverage of ConfirmMDx testing at the Medicare rate for veterans within the VA Health System.
According to the VA, prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among veterans with roughly 12,000 new cases annually. Over 600 urologists serve the 152 VA hospitals across the US and it is estimated that more than 200,000 prostate biopsies are performed within the VA healthcare system each year.
"MDxHealth is proud to support the Department of Veterans Affairs with ConfirmMDx testing to help improve patient management and decision-making on the need for prostate biopsies," stated Dr. Jan Groen, CEO of MDxHealth. "This contract further underscores ConfirmMDx's clinical value for prostate cancer risk assessment and will be a significant new driver of test volume."
The company's tests are based on proprietary genetic, epigenetic (methylation) and other molecular technologies and assist physicians with the diagnosis of urologic cancers, prognosis of recurrence risk, and prediction of response to a specific therapy. The Company's European headquarters are in Herstal (Wallonia).
