On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we're talking with Kristine Ashcraft, the president and founder of YouScript, a tool that helps to predict adverse drug events and personalize patient care.

We discuss the lack of awareness of genetic variants among patients and the recent adoption of biomarker testing legislation in some states.
