Patients with these insurance plans will now have access to Tempus testing as a participating provider. Tempus’ comprehensive molecular profiling portfolio provides physicians and their patients the solutions necessary to personalize treatment decisions throughout their journey. Now, as an in-network laboratory, Tempus’ collection of assays can be applied to optimize patients’ care and may lead to lower out-of-pocket costs for patients who receive any such testing in accordance with their individual plan.
“Molecular profiling tests are increasingly a critical part of patients’ treatment journeys as they enable physicians to make more informed decisions on a deeply personalized level,” said Ezra Cohen, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Oncology at Tempus. “In addition to offering one of the most comprehensive testing portfolios, our mission is to expand access to the many patients in need of optimized care.”
