Sunnyvale, CA , May 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arrayit Corporation (OTC: ARYC), a life sciences and personalized medicine company, announces that the company has achieved the clinical testing accuracy required for reimbursement under Medicare and Medicaid. Accuracy testing, supervised by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), assesses quantitative measurements of the immunoglobulin E (IgE) regulated analyte in the general immunology proficiency testing program. Arrayit’s testing performance included a score of 100% on the SA-2018 proficiency event and constituted successful cumulative performance required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) over a one-year testing period. CMS regulates approximately 260,000 clinical laboratories through the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) program, and proper certification is required to receive Medicare and Medicaid payments.

Arrayit is pioneering next generation personalized medicine tests that utilize non-invasive finger stick blood sampling, convenient blood card collection and patented and proprietary microarray technology to accurately and rapidly test analytes in the bloodstream that can assist in identifying and treating allergy, asthma and food intolerance. These tests are being offered through major brands to hospitals, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), clinical laboratories, physician groups, consumers through the assistance of medical doctors, and patients covered by the Medicare and Medicare federal health insurance programs. Medicare and Medicaid services combine for more than $1,200,000,000,000 ($1.2 trillion) in total healthcare expenditures annually for the 117 million recipients.

Arrayit CEO Rene Schena states, “Achieving the accuracy benchmark required for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement allows us to expand the availability of our personalized medicine products to assist healthcare providers covering a large number of American families with government insurance. The non-invasiveness of our finger stick blood tests is particularly suited for young people, seniors and demographics requiring monitoring at regular intervals for allergy, asthma, food intolerance and other lifestyle indications.”
