Lucid Diagnostics has begun receiving Medicare payments for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test at the established Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule rate of $1,938.01 per test. The company simultaneously closed a $15 million Series C convertible preferred private placement with existing long-term shareholders, including holders of a majority of its 12.0% senior secured notes due 2029, to fund commercial acceleration and working capital. Notably, participating noteholders acknowledged that Medicare payment receipts resolved the concerns behind the notes' Medicare-related event of default provision, removing a near-term credit overhang.
