Editor&#8217;s note: The headline of this story was updated to correct an error related to the reported day of the week.
On Monday, the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services posted final payment determinations for its 2025 Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule.
Included was a final decision related to CMS pricing for Exact Sciences Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NASDAQ">EXAS</a>) Cologuard Plus, a second-generation test that received FDA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/10/41185292/fda-clears-exact-sciences-next-generation-colorectal-cancer-diagnostic-test" rel="noreferrer noopener">approval in October</a>.
William Blair writes that the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cms.gov/medicare/payment/fee-schedules/clinical-laboratory-fee-schedule-clfs/annual-public-meetings" rel="noreferrer noopener">determinations</a> effectively raise reimbursement by 16% versus the current Medicare rate for the first-generation Cologuard test (to $592 for Cologuard Plus from $509 for Cologuard).

The determination reverses the September preliminary decision but aligns with a proposal made during the public comment period.
The analyst writes that reimbursement for Cologuard Plus will now be calculated based on two components: three times the fee for methylation analysis of Septin-9 ($192 x 3) and the fee for a FIT test ($15.92).
This pricing adjustment is expected to take effect for Medicare volumes when the test officially launches in late first quarter or early second quarter of 2025. Medicare fee-for-service volumes should reflect the new pricing immediately upon launch, with Medicare Advantage following soon after.
The company is also likely to renegotiate commercial contracts for higher pricing, which may gradually roll out over the coming quarters and years.
William Blair reiterates the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EXAS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Outperform rating on the stock.</a>
The analyst highlights that the update is a positive outcome for the company, as it simplifies the process of implementing a price increase compared to the more complex advanced diagnostic laboratory test (ADLT) pathway.
From a financial perspective, this decision is expected to support a moderate pricing boost starting in 2025. Based on William Blair&#8217;s estimates, this could add at least 300 basis points to Cologuard's growth rate next year, which is projected to be around 15% overall.
Exact Sciences said it will present 10 abstracts demonstrating the breadth of its Precision Oncology portfolio at the 2024 annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42177702/exact-sciences-advances-breast-cancer-care-with-the-oncotype-dx-test-and-genomic-profiling-researc" rel="noreferrer noopener">scheduled next month</a>.
Price Action: EXAS stock is up 7.60% at $59.33 at last check Tuesday.

Insights From Analysts:
&#8220;Equity markets continue to display remarkable strength. The S&amp;P 500 and other major indices are flirting with or surpassing all-time highs. The breadth of the rally is particularly noteworthy, with a growing number of stocks hitting 52-week highs,&#8221; said Jeremy Siegel, a senior economist <a href="https://resources.wisdomtree.com/weekly-siegel-commentary/">at</a> WisdomTree.
&#8220;This breadth is a key signal of market health, as it indicates a robust and inclusive rally rather than one concentrated in a few mega-cap names,&#8221; he added.
Analysts at BlackRock <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/insights/blackrock-investment-institute/weekly-commentary">said</a> that they are positive about the AI theme in the technology sector. &#8220;Valuations for AI beneficiaries are supported as tech companies keep beating high earnings expectations. We think upbeat sentiment can broaden out,&#8221; their note said.
BlackRock also added that they see the AI buildout and adoption creating opportunities across sectors. &#8220;We get selective, moving toward beneficiaries outside the tech sector. Broad-based earnings growth and a quality tilt make us overweight U.S. stocks overall.&#8221;
Predicting how December could look like for the stock markets, Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, highlighted how markets have performed better than average in December in every election year since 1950.

Exact Sciences To Present 10 Abstracts Demonstrating Breadth Of Its Precision Oncology Portfolio At SABCS

New evidence shows multi-biomarker class approach improved cancer detection, including in earlier stages when treatment may be more effective
Modeling data estimate adding MCED testing to standard-of-care screening could reduce cancer mortality by 17%
New analysis from DETECT-A study supports MCED testing as a complement to current guideline-recommended screening
Exact Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXAS#NASDAQ">EXAS</a>), a leading provider of cancer screening and diagnostic tests, will present three abstracts highlighting significant advancements in the development of a multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test. The results of a study evaluating a new multi-biomarker class approach showed improved sensitivity for early-stage and overall cancer detection. In addition, new modeling data estimate that adding MCED testing to recommended screening may reduce the incidence of stage IV cancer and, subsequently, cancer mortality over 10 years. Another new analysis from the DETECT-A study suggests that adding MCED testing complements guideline-recommended lung cancer screening without affecting adherence to current standard of care. These findings will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Special Conference in Cancer Research: Liquid Biopsy from November 13-16, 2024, in San Diego, Calif.
