How It Works
From Order to Outcome — Powered by MediniPathway™
Every test is ordered at the independent clinical discretion of the physician. MediniPathway™ coordinates the administrative and logistical steps that follow — it does not select, direct, or influence which test is ordered or where it is routed.
01
Patient Encounter & Test Decision
Various non-invasive methods for sample collection are available, with the physician selecting the appropriate approach and method.
02
Test Order Placement
Advanced sequencing techniques are utilized through the MediniPathway™ portal or EMR for test order placement, extraction, and analysis.
03
Intake & Eligibility Verification
Bioinformatics involves and identifying disease-related variants using MediniPathway™ verifies insurance in real time.
04
Documentation & Prior Auth Support
Summarize medical findings and are MediniPathway™ prepares and submits. Clarity and conciseness are prioritized.
05
Lab Selection (Routing Logic)
Payer-based in-network routing is used to identify an appropriate laboratory.
06
Sample Collection & Shipping
per physician instructions, UPS to CLIA/CAP lab.
07
Testing & Results
Lab Partner performs test, bills payer/patient directly.
08
Care Management & Follow-Up
MediniPathway™ coordinates, physician interprets.
Questions About the Testing Process
Who decides whether a genomic test should be ordered?
The ordering physician makes that decision based on independent clinical judgment and the patient’s individual circumstances.
MediniPathway™ does not select or determine which test a physician should order.
What happens after a physician orders a genomic test?
Once a physician determines that testing is appropriate, the administrative and logistical steps required to move the case forward can begin.
These may include eligibility review, required documentation, authorization activities, laboratory coordination, sample logistics, case tracking, and results delivery.
How is laboratory testing coordinated?
Testing is performed through qualified reference laboratory partners.
MediniPathway™ is designed to help coordinate the operational steps between the physician, patient, laboratory, and other participating healthcare stakeholders.
How are genomic test results returned and reviewed?
The laboratory generates the test report, and results are made available through the appropriate clinical workflow.
The ordering physician or another qualified healthcare professional reviews the results in the context of the patient’s overall clinical picture.
What role does MediniPathway™ play in the testing process?
MediniPathway™ supports the administrative and coordination activities surrounding physician-directed genomic testing.
Its role is to help connect the steps from ordering and authorization through laboratory coordination, results delivery, and appropriate follow-up. Clinical decisions remain with the physician.
