Press Conference: Hundreds of transplant patients, physicians, and health equity advocates expected to rally on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, December 5 to ask President Joe Biden and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra: "Urgently intervene! Stop private contractors

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Honor the Gift, a coalition representing organ transplant patients across the nation, will be joined by Representative Don Bacon (R-NE), the American Association of Kidney Patient's (AAKP) Chair of Policy and Global Affairs Paul T. Conway, Al B Sure!, Executive Chairman of the newly formed "Health Equity in Transplantation Coalition," Rev. Al Sharpton, Senior Advisor, and other leaders in the transplant field, to hold a press conference on December 5, 2023 in the Cannon Caucus Room on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C.

Key Points: 
  • University of Maryland School of Medicine
    In March, transplant patients' regular care was disrupted when a private contractor of Medicare called "MolDX" came between them and their trusted doctors and published an "Article" which tied coverage of non-invasive blood tests to invasive biopsies.
  • The alternative for such blood tests is surgical biopsy procedures, which are more expensive, riskier, and burdensome.
  • For years, transplant doctors could rely on their medical expertise and advanced blood tests to monitor organ transplant injury or rejection, safeguarding patients from invasive biopsies.
  • Now, as Medicare reviews the comments and determines the final decision on coverage, the transplant community is fearful their voices have been ignored and are making a public plea to the Administration.

Mineralization occurs along sub-horizontal horizons generally dipping gently westward; true mineralized thickness in vertical holes is estimated to be between 85% and 95% of reported vertical drill intercept length.

Key Points: 
  • Mineralization occurs along sub-horizontal horizons generally dipping gently westward; true mineralized thickness in vertical holes is estimated to be between 85% and 95% of reported vertical drill intercept length.
  • The East High-Grade Zone had previously been intercepted in holes drilled south of Section 22-10N(3) and today's intercept successfully extends this zone 30m northward, injecting higher-grade and thicker mineralization into this area of the AMFZ.
  • AT23NS-120 intercepted 1.14 g/t Au over 38.1m and was positioned 17m north-northwest of AT23NS-124 to define the western boundary of the East High-Grade Zone.
  • Today's 75m thick intercept averaging 2.37 g/t Au in AT23NS-124 is the thickest intercept recorded to date along the East High-Grade Zone."
