Diasorin: Your Partner in Market Access

By Bridget Parsons

Market Access supports lab decision making with strategic insight

When a new molecular test comes on the market, clinical validity and turnaround time are often the first aspects most labs consider. However, these additional considerations matter just as much:

  • Will we be reimbursed for running this assay?
  • Would our providers actually order it?
  • Can running this test be financially sustainable, or would we lose money running it?

This is where Market Access comes in.

What is Market Access, and why does it matter?

Market Access refers to how tests gain coverage, reimbursement, and broader adoption across healthcare systems. Even if you’re not directly negotiating with insurance providers, Market Access directly affects many aspects of your work, including:

  • Your bottom line: Denials and low reimbursement lead to time consuming appeals and ultimately lost revenue.
  • Operational confidence: If a test is seen as high-risk for denial from insurance providers, it’s more difficult to justify ordering it.
  • Patient and provider satisfaction: Providers want to offer tests that are covered by insurance and won’t lead to high bills for their patients.

Market Access guidance supports success

With tightening budgets, evolving coverage policies, and increasing demands on labs to prove value as well as performance, Market Access is no longer a downstream issue; it’s part of the adoption conversation from the start.

Market Access consultation can help labs better address the following:

  1. Reimbursement clarity
    Labs are increasingly cautious about adding new tests, especially if CPT coding is unclear or denial rates are high. A test with clear billing guidance and support is much easier to greenlight than one without.
  2. Test utilization strategy
    Tests that let you choose the right panel size or adapt to clinical questions help your lab align better with payer expectations. That flexibility can reduce unnecessary denials and increase clinician satisfaction.
  3. Workflow efficiency
    If a new test streamlines sample handling, integrates easily with the laboratory/hospital information system (LIS/HIS), or reduces instrument clutter, it’s a win for everyone involved. However, it’s only sustainable if the reimbursement supports the investment.
  4. Support from commercial partners
    Diasorin offers reimbursement education, coding support, reimbursement appeal templates, and more to reduce your lab’s financial risk and administrative burden.
