Medicare Now Reimbursing for EnteroTrack’s Esophageal String Test®, Expanding Access to Patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis

EnteroTrack LLC announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is paying for the company’s Esophageal String Test® (EST), marking a major milestone in access for patients living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a chronic inflammatory condition of the esophagus.

The decision means that Medicare beneficiaries can now receive coverage for the EST, which provides a non-endoscopic, minimally invasive method to monitor esophageal inflammation. The test enables clinicians to track disease activity without the need for repeated sedated endoscopies, which are costly, burdensome, and carry procedural risks.
