Precision Medicine

The explosion of genetic and molecular medicine has produced mountains of options and evidence. Conversely, there is often an alarming lack of evidence. This is where we come in.

We help you manage the flood of tests and drugs that emerge in this category daily. Accessed through the Hayes Knowledge Center, our comprehensive Precision Medicine solution focuses on thousands of genetic, genomic, and molecular diagnostic tests and precision medicine therapies addressing the questions our clients most frequently ask:

  • If so, what tests and/or therapies should I use?
  • Should we cover testing and/or therapies?
  • Can we manage these services internally?
