Coverage indications
This test is a “liquid biopsy". It is intended to assist physicians caring for patients who suffer from a common form of lung cancer and who have advanced disease. This policy provides limited coverage for InvisionFirst ® - Lung (Inivata ™ , Research Triangle Park, NC) (hereafter InVision ® ) a plasma-based, somatic comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) test for patients with advanced (Stage IIIB/IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): At diagnosis When results for EGFR single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and insertions and deletions (indels); rearrangements in ALK and ROS1; and SNVs for BRAF are not available AND when tissue-based CGP is infeasible [i.e., quantity not sufficient (QNS) for tissue-based CGP or invasive biopsy is medically contraindicated], or At progression For patients progressing on or after chemotherapy or immunotherapy who have not been tested for EGFR SNVs and indels; rearrangements in ALK and ROS1; and SNVs for BRAFs, and for whom tissue-based CGP is infeasible; or For patients progressing on EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). If no genetic alteration is detected by InVision ® or if circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is insufficient/not detected, tissue-based genotyping should be considered.
