The American Foregut Society (AFS) has formally requested health insurance providers to update their medical policies to include Lucid Diagnostics' (Nasdaq: LUCD) EsoGuard® Esophageal DNA test as a covered service.

The AFS, a leading society of gastroenterologists and surgeons, highlighted the strong scientific evidence supporting EsoGuard as a minimally invasive screening alternative to endoscopy.
The AFS emphasized that expanding access to EsoGuard will empower providers with an essential triage for upper endoscopy, enabling early detection of Barrett's Esophagus.

Key findings include:
