MolDX Defined

Palmetto GBA developed the Molecular Diagnostic Services (MolDX) Program to consolidate expertise in reviewing molecular diagnostic tests for coverage reimbursement under the Medicare program. MolDX currently provides uniform policies for 28 states, across four Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs).

The MolDX Program

​The MolDX program creates LCDs, articles, and coding edits that address molecular diagnostic tests. It does this by:

  • Registering molecular diagnostic tests to improve identification, speed claims processing and to monitor utilization.
  • Evaluating molecular diagnostic tests for clinical utility, analytic validity and clinical validity.
  • Completing technical assessments of published test data to validate clinical utility and determine coverage.
  • Determining reimbursement rates.
