March 11th, 2016 RE: Critical Test Coverage Request by the Treating Provider Patient: [First Name, Last Name] Insurance Provider: [Insurance Company Name] Subscriber Name: [First Name, Last Name] Policy #: [Subscriber’s Policy Number] Dear Claim’s Specialist, I am writing this letter on behalf of my patient, and your subscriber, [First, Last Name] to request full coverage of a DNA-based variant analysis test. This patient presents with an abnormally high risk of adverse drug event, as [He/She] is being treated for multiple chronic health conditions [LIST HERE], and takes numerous prescription medications on a daily basis. Without data that provides patient specific guidance as to the appropriate drug regimen for this patient, I fear injury is inevitable. Specifically, the RESPONSE® test identifies common variations in 22 genes known to impact a patient’s response (and tolerance) to medication. This test relies on a scientific body of evidence that has stood the test of time, as evidenced by the fact the FDA now includes genetic-based dosing guidance directly on the drug label of more than 120 commonly prescribed medications. This label guidance often includes specific actions that are to be taken for certain patients, based on their genetic test results. Having RESPONSE® test results in-hand will undoubtedly help me select the proper drug, at the proper dose for this patient. This patients clinical situation demands the use of advanced tools, in order to prevent harmful and costly adverse drug events and increase the overall odds of treatment success. Thank you for your timely review and consideration. My patients well-being may rely upon my access to data and guidance provided by the RESPONSE® test-- and I hope for your full support in its coverage. If you have questions, or if I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call me at [PHYSICIAN PHONE NUMBER].
