Theralink® Technologies Receives Final Medicare Reimbursement Rate Determination and PTAN Enrollment

Important Milestone Toward Enabling Increased Access and Insight for Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer Through Theralink's Precision Oncology Test

GOLDEN, Colo., Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Theralink Technologies (OTC: THER) ("Theralink" or the "Company"), a precision oncology company with a novel phosphoprotein-based assay for advanced breast cancer, today announced that the Company has received the final price determination for Medicare reimbursement, has completed the Medicare enrollment process and received its Provider Transaction Access Number (PTAN).

"Medicare enrollment for the Theralink Assay for Advanced Breast Cancer is an important milestone toward enabling broader access to our novel phosphoprotein assay for patients with advanced breast cancer," said Mick Ruxin, M.D., CEO of Theralink Technologies. "Theralink's Medicare PTAN enrollment and the finalization of our reimbursement rate is a major step in the Company's business growth trajectory. We look forward to the next step in the reimbursement process as it relates to coverage of our test by both Medicare and private payors."

It is estimated that approximately 269,000 women are living with and/or are newly diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in the United States. The Theralink Assay for all patients facing a journey of advanced breast cancer provides a new approach to testing that goes beyond genomic testing and analyzes each individual patient's biology for expressed proteins and phosphoproteins. This allows additional insight that can be provided to the medical oncologist and the patient's care team for potentially improved therapy selection.

Early results of a recent study showed over 90% Actionability and a greater than 75% Clinical Utility for Theralink's Lab Developed Test (LDT) for advanced breast cancer patients. Actionability is defined as providing physicians with test results that are actionable for patient treatment selection and Clinical Utility is defined as the percentage of times that the physician acts upon those test results to select the next course of treatment for the patient.

The Theralink Assay for Advanced Breast Cancer has been available to patients for the past 18 months with several oncologists and cancer programs making it part of their routine clinical practice. Theralink will continue to focus on its commercial deployment in academic/research facilities, large network health systems, and private practices in 2023. In addition, the Company plans to expand its testing indications into other solid tumor cancers in the near future.
