Pro-Genex is a marketer of pharmacogenetic testing based at Georgia Tech, in Atlanta, Georgia. Our combined genetic testing/consulting services help Acute-care and Long Term Post Acute Care operators maximize the information from test results.
Nearly 100,000 people die annually due to Adverse Drug Events/Adverse Drug Reactions. More than 1.5 million are hospitalized and the annual cost for treating these avoidable injuries exceeds $180 billion USD. The APA estimates that more than 10% of patients are taking at least one drug that isn’t working for them. The need exists to provide an immediate solution to the rising number of patient injuries. Long Term Care Operators and healthcare systems are under CMS mandates to improve in a large number of Core Quality Measures (CQMs) and other such metrics. To maximize revenues and minimize penalties it is also important to reduce the time required to bring patients to a high level of therapeutic benefit related to their medications.
OUR PRODUCT
Our genetic test products evaluate the Cytochrome P450 system in the body. This process is called Pharmacogenetic testing (PGX). The test determines if the genes related to this system are causing the body to express normal amounts of enzymes used in the metabolism of drugs. Abnormalities in this system are common, resulting in non-standard enzyme expression.
Pharmacogenetic testing holds the promise of assisting physicians and patients in selecting the right medication and the right dosage level at the outset of treatment, minimizing the risk of adverse drug events (ADRs) and maximizing outcomes. By knowing an individual’s specific metabolism of specific medications, physicians can make adjustments to dosage early on, or even choose a different medication. The result is a reduction of costs and an increase in patient satisfaction which can help drive additional revenue. The tests have reimbursement from CMS and most private insurers.
We are the only company of our kind in the industry that provides census-level data from our testing results to healthcare networks, assisting in documenting positive change across important metrics and demonstrating meaningful use to drive larger reimbursement rates from CMS.
