. The integration of acquired assets and other strategic transactions that we may pursue may impact our revenue growth, increase the cost of operations or may require management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of our existing business.

New Product Development

A significant aspect of our business is our investment in research and development activities, including activities related to the development of new tests and the ongoing development of our IVD and MRD strategies. In addition to the development of new product candidates, we believe these studies are critical to gaining clinician adoption of new products and driving favorable coverage decisions by payors for such products.

How We Recognize Revenue

We recognize revenue in accordance with the provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606. This process involves identifying the contract with a customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied.  

Testing Revenue

We generally bill for testing services at the time of test completion, upon delivery of a patient report to the prescribing physician. We recognize revenue based on estimates of the amount that will ultimately be realized. In determining the amount to accrue for a delivered test, we consider factors such as payment history, payer coverage, whether there is a reimbursement contract between the payer and us, payment as a percentage of agreed upon rate (if applicable), amount paid per test and any current developments or changes that could impact reimbursement. These estimates require significant judgment by management. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Upon ultimate collection, the amount received is compared to previous estimates and the amount accrued is adjusted accordingly. 

Generally, cash we receive is collected within 12 months of the date the test is billed. We cannot provide any assurance as to when, if ever, or to what extent, any of these amounts will be collected. Notwithstanding our efforts to obtain payment for these tests, payers may deny our claims, in whole or in part, and we may never receive payment for these tests. Our ability to increase our testing revenue will depend on our ability to penetrate the market, obtain positive coverage policies from additional third-party payers, obtain reimbursement and/or enter into contracts with additional third-party payers for our current and new tests, and increase reimbursement rates for tests performed. Finally, should the judgments underlying our estimated reimbursement change, our accrued revenue and financial results could be negatively impacted in
