Diagnostic Solutions

Biodesix has different diagnostic testing solutions depending on the type of biological information your health care team needs to decide on the right management or treatment path for you. Your doctor will choose the test that is right for you, based on your diagnosis, medical imaging and personal health history, and arrange for a blood sample to be collected through a simple blood draw, which can be obtained in a clinic, laboratory, or the comfort of your own home.

Nodify® Testing

If a lung nodule has been found during a chest scan, whether incidentally or during routine screening, it can be difficult to decide what the next best steps are to take for your health. The Nodify Lung blood-based testing strategy helps you and your doctor confidently decide the next steps for managing the nodule in your lung. 

While most small nodules found are not cancerous, your physician may use Nodify Lung testing to help evaluate your risk of having lung cancer before doing a more-invasive procedure, such as a biopsy or surgery, or waiting to scan the nodule again in the future. 

Is lung nodule testing right for you?
Your doctor or medical care team can help decide if Nodify Lung testing is right for you. Nodify Lung test results are based on a combination of two proteins found in your blood, and clinical characteristics like the size and shape of your lung nodule or your age, using an algorithm to help assess your risk of cancer.

Protections against surprise billing
When you get treated by an out-of-network specialist at an in-network setting, you are protected from balance billing, also sometimes called “surprise billing.” This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care—like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in- network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider. Learn more about your rights and protections against surprise medical bills.
