Insurers Slow to Cover New Medical Tests and Procedures
Health plans evaluate new tests and devices that promise less pain and faster results. Traditional Pap tests cost $7 while endoscopy and biopsy run about $600. Strep tests take 2–3 days for results at $25. Prostate surgery ranges $8,000 to $10,000. Blue Cross of Maryland limits home Coumadin coverage to recent hospital discharge patients. Manufacturers rethink strategies as insurers demand broader approval and push for early overseas launches. Cytyc’s ThinPrep Pap test seeks FDA approval-driven coverage after two years of efforts.
