Naveris Announces Expanded Commercial Payor Coverage for NavDx® Test from Blue Shield of California

Coverage from Blue Cross Blue Shield Association Licensee Increases Patient Access to Precision Medicine

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Naveris, Inc., the leader in precision oncology diagnostics for viral-induced cancers, today announced that Blue Shield of California, an independent licensee of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, provides coverage as of July 1, 2024 for the NavDx^® test, Naveris’ proprietary flagship blood test for Tumor Tissue Modified Viral (TTMV^®)-HPV DNA.

NavDx is the first and only clinically validated circulating TTMV-HPV DNA blood test. It provides a non-invasive and precise method for identifying HPV-driven cancers before there is clinical or radiographical evidence of disease. Data supporting the clinical validity and utility of the NavDx test has been published in over 30 peer-reviewed publications and the test was designated an Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory Test (ADLT) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) earlier this year.

“We are pleased to partner with Blue Shield of California to increase access to precision medicine diagnostics and to empower physicians and patients with the valuable insights provided by TTMV-HPV DNA,” said James McNally, Chief Executive Officer of Naveris. “The NavDx test has been shown to help inform and optimize surveillance, detecting recurrence at the level of molecular residual disease and helping patients receive the most appropriate care. We are excited to continue our momentum in expanding patient access to NavDx testing nationally.”
