The rules state that for lab-developed tests for inherited cancer syndromes, all of the following criteria must be 
met: 
 
1. The patient must have: 
- Any cancer diagnosis 
- AND a clinical indication for germline (inherited) testing for hereditary cancer 
- AND a risk factor for germline (inherited) cancer 
- AND has not been previously tested with the same germline genetic content. 
2. The test has satisfactorily completed a Technical Assessment (TA) by Molecular Diagnostic Services 
Program (MolDX) for the stated indications of the test. 
3. The test performed includes at least the minimum genetic content (genes or genetic variants) with definitive 
or well-established guidelines-based evidence required for clinical decision making for its intended use that can 
be reasonably detected by the test. 
- Because these genes and variants will change as the literature and drug indications evolve, they are listed 
separately in associated documents, such as the MolDX TA forms. 
- A single gene or variant may be tested if it is the only gene or variant considered to be reasonable and 
necessary for a cancer type. 
4. If a previous test was performed with a similar/duplicative intended use, a subsequent test is only reasonable 
and necessary if the non-duplicative genetic content of the second test is reasonable and necessary. 
5. If the test is a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) test, it must abide by all conditions listed in the National 
Coverage Determinations Manual 90.2.
