Precision Medicine Fraud: Understanding and Addressing Clinical Accuracy and Billing Irregularities Related to Genetic Testing

The new era of precision medicine is built primarily on the foundations of the genetic/genomic diagnostic testing industry. However, the National Institutes of Health warns that “most genetic tests today are not regulated, meaning that they go to market without any independent analysis to verify the claims of the seller.” Genetic/genomic tests with fraudulent technical and clinical claims from many laboratories have flourished in recent years, with billing fraud also plaguing the industry. The swiftness of advancing DNA sequencing technologies, and the complexity of these technologies, have resulted in a knowledge vacuum within the institutions that normally protect patients and other stakeholders from fraud, waste and abuse. This presentation will outline the primary modes of fraud perpetrated by many laboratories, and will describe the anti-fraud tools recently developed by the Center for Genomic Interpretation. (The Center for Genomic Interpretation is an independent nonprofit organization with the mission to save and improve lives through encouraging careful stewardship of clinical genetics, genomics and precision medicine).
