Well, the article also said that 75% of the cancers had no approved screening, so if these findings hold up, it will be a HUGE deal.

So invest some money in their stock (NSQ: GRAL). In a year they went from about $12 to $91.

We only invest in real estate. And have no debt, which is our odd approach to things.....

Note the date at the bottom:

"The Galleri test was introduced at a cost of $949. According to GRAIL, the manufacturers of the Galleri test, some individual employers may cover some or all of the cost of testing.

"Both the ACS and the NCI note that most types of insurance don’t typically cover the Galleri test. This means that you’ll likely have to pay some or all of the cost of the test out of pocket.

"Medicare currently doesn’t cover the cost of the Galleri test either, but a bill on this topic was introduced into Congress in 2021. If enacted into law, it would provide Medicare coverage for MCED tests such as the Galleri test.

"Is it FDA-approved?"

"At this time, no MCED tests have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This includes the Galleri test.

For recent news:

"The cost on Galleri blood test remains $949. Clinics add blood-draw and administration fees that average $150–$200, bringing typical out-of-pocket expense to $1,100. A limited $799 telemedicine promo code (SCREEN25, valid through July 31 2025) lowers the test price but not local phlebotomy charges. An HSA or FSA card still counts as self-pay."

That test has been around for quite a while. It costs about $1,000 and is not generally covered by health insurance.

I contemplated taking it, but after talking to my doctors they pointed out that I really didn’t need to take it and that the other individual cancer screen tests were actually more accurate.
