One of the best pieces of news we could ask for. I expected them to reimburse the new standard 2 gene test but them approving the Winterplex test for reimbursement is on another level. The winterplex test is 4x as expensive as the standard test! f you had the choice of testing for just Covid19 or Covid19 + RSV +Influenza A&B and get the money reimbursed either way its a no brainer!!

Two gene Specificity Report Published8 Sep 2020 00:46
Primerdesign today 7th Sept published the latest Specificity Report & Independent Clinical Performance Evaluation. This "now" contains details on both one and two gene tests! No idea why the company didn't tweet this as usual and especially since this is the first one containing both genes. https://twitter.com/Blad3sharp/status/1303100368516255746

Benbenbenben nothing says anything about a legally binding contract just "entered into an agreement" there is zero info on what that actual agreement is. Please keep to facts
How many times only a diagnosis can be given by a clinician. Taking swabs and running the test etc can be done by anyone with the suitable skills. Results can be sent to a clinician by email etc to review and provide a diagnosis. Same with a home pregnancy test this gives a result but you are not diagnosed being pregnant until its confirmed by a clinician
