According to a federal court filing, Exact Sciences is suing Humana for refusing to pay for the company’s non-invasive colon cancer test.
The lawsuit argues Humana has illegally refused to pay more than $800,000 worth of claims for the Cologuard test, WisBusiness reports.
Court documents show Exact Sciences wants Humana, one of the nation’s largest insurers, to cover the Cologuard test, especially in the handful of states that have statutes mandating coverage for colon cancer screenings.
To date, Exact Sciences has processed 4,664 Cologuard tests for Humana enrollees in 45 states, adding up to more than $800,000 in unpaid claims.
