Frequently Asked Questions
What is the clonoSEQ test, and why has my doctor ordered it?
clonoSEQ is a test that measures MRD to help you and your doctor plan for your next step in blood cancer care. clonoSEQ is the first and only FDA-cleared test that detects, counts, and tracks MRD in patients with multiple myeloma, CLL, or ALL. It is also CLIA-validated to measure blood samples from patients with multiple myeloma, DLBCL, ALL, and MCL. Adaptive Biotechnologies is the company that offers clonoSEQ.
Is clonoSEQ testing covered by my insurance plan?
Depending on the type of insurance you have, coverage for clonoSEQ testing may differ. Adaptive will bill your insurance company directly and work with your plan to obtain the proper level of coverage for clonoSEQ. If your insurance plan limits or fully denies coverage for clonoSEQ, Adaptive will appeal the claim when possible and work on your behalf to seek payment for testing. You may receive a “Consent to Appeal” form from Adaptive. Please fill it out and return it promptly to help us in appealing for coverage for your test.
In some cases, you may have some out-of-pocket costs, such as coinsurance, for clonoSEQ. Please call our Patient Support Team at 1-855-236-9230 to understand your potential out-of-pocket costs, verify your coverage, or discuss payment options. Be sure to talk to your doctor about how clonoSEQ may fit into your treatment plan before initiating testing.
Is clonoSEQ covered by Medicare?
Medicare covers clonoSEQ testing for patients with multiple myeloma, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at multiple time points throughout a patient’s treatment.
When there is reason to believe that Medicare will not cover the test, you will be asked to review and sign an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) informing you that Medicare considers the test to be not covered, the reason why testing is not covered, and your financial responsibility, prior to any services being performed. For billing questions or to discuss the Adaptive AssistTM Patient Support Program, please contact our Patient Support Team at 1-855-236-9230.
How much will a clonoSEQ test cost me if I don’t have insurance? Can I get a Good Faith Estimate before a test is ordered?
If you don’t have insurance, you can call our Patient Support Team at 1-855-236-9230 to get a personalized Good Faith Estimate (GFE).
If you’re eligible, we will attempt to qualify you for financial assistance through our Adaptive Assist Patient Support Program so we can accurately assess your GFE. This will help generate an estimate of the potential cost you’ll be responsible for when receiving a clonoSEQ test.
Can I find out what my potential out-of-pocket cost for MRD testing with clonoSEQ will be?
Out-of-pocket cost estimates are available prior to submission of a clonoSEQ order by contacting our Patient Support Team at 1-855-236-9230. The amount quoted during this process is an estimate based on plan benefits and unmet deductible or coinsurance and/or copay amounts and is subject to change based on other claims that are being processed for you.
During the call, we will attempt to qualify eligible patients for financial assistance through our Adaptive Assist Patient Support Program so that we can more accurately estimate the potential out-of-pocket costs.
