CMS may have made mistake with Myriad BRCA pricing, says Piper Jaffray
Piper Jaffray analyst William Quirk noted that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, released the final 2016 Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Fee Schedule yesterday, which showed Myriad Genetics' BRCA1/2 sequencing and full duplication/deletion analysis priced at $1,839.54, down from the $2,483.37 listed in the preliminary and final CLFS determination documents. Quirk said this may be an error and that he anticipates CMS to issue a correction and/or Myriad to file an appeal in the near-term. The analyst keeps an Overweight rating on Myriad shares
