When will I be billed? Are we billed at the same time as placing the order?

Invoices will be sent about 30 days after the service is ordered. We send the invoice to the email (billing or accounts payable) we have on file for the clinic at the start of the month for any services provided the month prior.

How does ImpriMed predict drug responses?

Our predictions are made by artificial intelligence (AI) models trained to predict clinical outcomes from patient data inputs. Clinical outcomes collected from oncologists include reports of progressive disease, stable disease, partial response, and complete response. Patient data used as inputs by the AI models include readings from our live-cell drug sensitivity assay, flow cytometry, PARR, and patient information.Models are re-trained periodically to incorporate new data and refine performance.

If the blood clots can the ImpriMed test still be run?

Blood clots can prevent our ability to run our tests. Very small clots may not be a problem, but in general, clotted blood is not ideal. That is why we ask that doctors send blood in an EDTA or heparin tube.

Is it wise to eliminate a certain chemotherapy drug based on the test results or should there be other factors that need to be considered in this decision?

We do not recommend using ImpriMed's predictions to rule out treatment options. The company's artificial intelligence is optimized to give high positive predictive value to help you find drugs with the highest likelihood of producing positive clinical outcomes. For the bests results, our predictions should be used in conjunction with expert knowledge from a skilled oncologist.

If I send samples from multiple patients, do I get a discount?

No, but after the first Personalized Prediction Profile service for a given patient, all subsequent Personalized Prediction Profile services for that patient are discounted.
