The Promise of Personalized Medicine
There is no personalized medicine without a diagnostic test to help in the process. The Promise of Personalized Medicine is a podcast that explores the process of creating more personalized medicine and the Medical Directors who ensure that the right care is being delivered to us all. Season 1 will focus on understanding best practices by using the Blueprint of Success format as a template for labs to use when trying to get their novel diagnostic test approved by health plans. This is The Promise of Personalized Medicine.

Episode 1
Within novel diagnostics tests, needing clinical utility evidence cannot be understated. And the more evidence accumulated over years, the better.
But why? Today’s guest is Dr. Virginia Calega, the President of VCC Healthcare Solutions, and she makes a highly compelling argument that, if payors are going to accept a new novel diagnostic test, and disrupt what they already have, it has to be backed by substantial evidence.
Join us as we also discuss:
- The contrary belief of expensive tests CAN be approved by payors
- The need to clearly define the novel test for the patient’s clinical journey
- The ultimate savings cost built into the newer tests
