Hip and knee surgeons: Still using Big Ortho to diagnose PJIs? Two peer-reviewed numbers: → ~$3,916 = cost-effectiveness ceiling (Torchia 2019) → ~$400 = OrthoKEY (Tipton 2026, n=2,011) ~90% below the ceiling. Pathogen ID + resistance genes + biomarkers + ~24-48h turnaround time from receipt sample. frontiersin.org/journals/micro… #OrthopedicSurgery #PJI #BigOrtho

Molecular diagnostic claims get denied. Usually not because the test was unnecessary. The denial is almost always a documentation mismatch. A missing Z code. The wrong primary diagnosis position. A clinical story the payer system could not follow. New blog: microgendx.com/why-molecular-… #MolecularDiagnostics #MedicalBilling #InfectiousDisease

In sepsis, every hour to the right antibiotic affects outcomes. NGS testing identifies the organism and resistance markers within 48 hours - even after antibiotics have already been started. Earlier data. Better treatment decisions. #Sepsis #CriticalCare #AntimicrobialStewardship #SCCM2026 → Learn more: microgendx.com/next-generatio…
