CMT Solutions Announces Series A Fundraising to Accelerate Patient Access to Precision Medicine

Last Updated: March 16th, 2021

Falls Church, VA – Today CMT Solutions, a leader in patient access services for laboratory diagnostics, announced a close on $10.0MM of Series A fundraising. The investment was co-led by Lytical Ventures, LLC and by Mercury Fund. The Series A funding was a blend of equity and debt.  The debt was provided by Signature Bank, a full-service commercial bank. CMT is using these funds to further develop our technology solution, with a new product launch, that will greatly help the healthcare community with diagnostic testing. Within a rapidly growing testing market, there are basic questions that continue to be barriers for patients and ordering providers: “Will it be covered by insurance?” and How much will this test cost?”. In the laboratory industry 30% of all tests go unfulfilled, primarily due to concerns over coverage and costs.

“Our mission is to help all patients get access to the right test they need to treat their condition or disease. We are truly excited for this partnership with Lytical and Mercury because we are following through with our mission and building out our platform and services.” from Andrew Mignatti, CEO and Co-Founder of CMT Solutions.

Today, there are more than 150,000 genetic tests on the market [1].  Health plans (both private and government) are facing increasing costs coming from genetic testing and the associated therapies they lead to. Beginning in 2017, major plans have implemented new or increased their prior authorization programs for laboratory diagnostic tests. CMT Solutions helps laboratories and physician offices who order diagnostic testing for their patients, by performing the prior authorizations on behalf of the physicians and the laboratories.
