Abstract

The field of genomics has been defined by rapid growth and technological developments, transforming clinical genetic testing. However, the implementation of new technology into clinical testing is challenging for laboratories, given frequent updates to sequencing equipment resulting in capital expenditures coupled with the costs and time associated with method development and validation. Further, reimbursement in the United States healthcare system for new tests without established billing codes is difficult to predict.
