GBA, a Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) that assesses molecular diagnostic technologies under its MolDX program, has finalized
a foundational Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Molecular Biomarkers to Risk-Stratify Patients at Increased Risk for Prostate Cancer

utility of our SelectMDx test and, when the LCD becomes effective on July 3, 2022, is expected to support coverage of our test for qualified
Medicare patients throughout the United States.
Michael McGarrity, CEO of MDxHealth, commented:
"We are pleased to report this very positive and important development for MDxHealth. We are certain that our clinical data for
the SelectMDx test, adoption from our urology customer base and inclusion in the NCCN Guidelines merits coverage by Medicare. We look
forward to continuing to advance availability of our test to current and new customers and patients entering the diagnostic pathway of
prostate cancer. Our SelectMDx test, coupled with our ConfirmMDx test post initial biopsy, presents a clinically actionable pathway
for urologists and patients."
