[{"type":"text","content":"SAN DIEGO, May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exagen Inc. (Nasdaq: XGN), a leading provider of autoimmune testing solutions, announced today that AVISE® CTD and AVISE® Lupus are a contracted covered service with Alivio Health, providing enhanced care to their 150,000 members. The agreement also makes AVISE® diagnostic testing available as an in-network benefit. “We are grateful to be partnering with Alivio Health. This partnership provides Alivio Health members and providers a timely and accurate differential diagnosis to improve outcomes for complex autoimmune diseases, including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE),” said Ron Rocca, Exagen’s President and CEO. “Lupus is tricky to diagnose, and it currently takes an average of six years before being confirmed with the disease. That timeframe could lead to irreversible organ damage, since prompt treatment is key to managing symptoms. Providing greater access to accurate testing means a better chance of catching lupus early.” About Exagen Inc. Exagen is dedicated to transforming the care continuum for patients suffering from debilitating and chronic autoimmune diseases by enabling timely differential diagnosis and optimizing therapeutic intervention. Exagen has developed and is commercializing a portfolio of innovative testing products under its AVISE® brand, several of which are based on our proprietary Cell-Bound Complement Activation Products, or CB-CAPs, technology. Exagen’s goal is to enable providers to improve care for patients through the differential diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of complex autoimmune and autoimmune-related diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
