Rennova Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:RNVA) (NASDAQ:RNVAZ), a vertically integrated provider of industry-leading diagnostics and supportive software solutions to healthcare providers, today announces additional
details regarding its recent acquisition of Genomas, Inc.
“We are very pleased to have acquired Genomas, Inc., as announced on
September 29, 2016. Genomas diagnostics and technology fits within our
core business model and allows us to expand our offer of industry
leading diagnostics to doctors and their patients. The opportunity to
take ownership of a diagnostic solution that reflected the investment of
many years and millions of dollars to develop and to then be able to
utilize our sales, compliance and billing infrastructure to grow the
business are activities in which we have a proven ability to excel,”
said Rennova CEO, Seamus Lagan. In discussing this acquisition, Mr.
Lagan highlighted the following:

  • Genomas conducts a genetic diagnostic using FDA approved kits and
    methodology that gives the physician the ability to evaluate, select
    and manage a patient’s medications based on DNA analysis and
    proprietary algorithms so as to improve efficacy and avoid potentially
    serious complications and drug interactions.
  • Rennova Health has now added the pharmacogenetic tests performed via
    FDA-approved in vitro diagnostic (IVD) genotyping kits to its menu and
    has already succeeded in securing referrals for in excess of 400
    patients.
  • Results for the diagnostics are delivered through an online portal and
    the proprietary and patented software MEDtuning, which provides an
    advanced genetic assessment of the medicines currently prescribed or
    being considered for a patient. The MEDtuning report can significantly
    improve the management of patients on multi-drug regimens to treat
    common general and mental health diseases, whether it be addiction,
    pain management, depression or diabetes.
  • Rennova sales team will focus on marketing a variety of pharmacogentic
    panels utilizing genes for which various payers have approved CPT
    codes for reimbursement.
  • Rennova originally acquired a third party’s 15% holding in Genomas for
    $250,000 on July 20th 2016. Following that, Rennova signed
    a definitive agreement to acquire the balance of Genomas on 29th
    September 2016, for newly created Series F convertible preference
    shares that convert into a maximum of 897,436 common shares no earlier
    than 12 months after the close and no later than 60 months after the
    close. Rennova also assumed $800,000 of debt owed by Genomas at
    closing.

“With Rennova, we will deliver the integrated molecular, biochemical and
informatics monitors for precision medicine: the suite of
pharmacogenetics, toxicology, and clinical decision support,” said Dr.
Gualberto Ruano, President & Medical Director, Genomas. “This
industry-leading platform from Rennova will help prevent adverse events
and addiction when interacting drugs are prescribed in behavioral health
and primary care,” added Dr. Ruano.
