Brett McQueen, PhD, associate professor at the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and corresponding author on the paper. \u201cThis increased use suggests patients and physicians may prefer a more accurate screening method.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nStill, no public data existed for what happens when coverage is opened up to younger women. Illumina and HPHC, which covers around 3 million people in the Northeastern United States, entered into a first-of-its-kind agreement in 2018 to open NIPT coverage for all pregnant, single gestation women under 35.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe results of risk-sharing agreements involving commercial companies are not always made public, and this study aimed to address that lack of transparency. Illumina and HPHC engaged a third-party academic collaborator to develop a study protocol, complete the analyses, and lead the publication development. The <i>PharmacoEconomics <\/i>article is the first-ever published manuscript on a value-based agreement between a bio\/medical technology company and a payer.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAs the clinical utility of NIPT is undeniable, we\u2019ve focused on publishing real-world evidence assessing the economic implications,\u201d said Ammar Qadan, Vice President and Global Head of Market Access at Illumina. \u201cThis study, and other efforts, highlight how payers can provide NIPT access to all pregnant women and produce better outcomes at about the same cost.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn August 2020, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) updated their clinical practice guidelines, recommending NIPT for all pregnant women, regardless of age.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFollowing the ACOG change, a number of payers, such as UHC and Aetna, updated their coverage policies to match these guidelines. Given the results from this study, it\u2019s likely that even more payers will follow suit and expand NIPT cover to women under 35.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThese results were the best possible outcome,\u201d said Michael Sherman, MD, MBA, MS, and Chief Medical Officer for the combined organization of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan. \u201cWe are proud to be on the cutting edge of precision medicine and in providing preferred access for our members to diagnostic tests that can improve their lives. That we were able to demonstrate this without adversely impacting affordability provides important real-world evidence that others across the ecosystem are noticing. It is a tremendous win for everyone, especially the patient.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Illumina<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nIllumina is improving human health by unlocking the power of the genome.
