Pacific Edge eyes profitability after US Medicare breakthrough

Share

Cancer diagnostics company Pacific Edge (ASX:PEB) reported its audited financial results for the 2026 financial year, marking a period of strategic transition highlighted by a crucial breakthrough in US Medicare policy.

The company announced the achievement of a new draft Local Coverage Determination, 'Urine-based Biomarkers in Patients with Microhematuria' (DL04378).

The milestone establishes haematuria evaluation as a Medicare benefit for the first time, covering both Cxbladder Triage and Triage Plus for intermediate-risk patients.

The inclusion of Triage Plus—which commands a higher Medicare price of US$1,328—is expected to bolster unit economics and accelerate the company's pathway to profitability.

Pacific Edge has also been cleared to pursue claim-by-claim reimbursement for the products ahead of the LCD becoming final, which is anticipated by the end of the 2026 calendar year.
