Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-207263), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), filed by Interpace Diagnostics Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a “PDI, Inc.”) (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and with an effectiveness date of October 9, 2015. We are rendering this supplemental opinion in connection with the prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the Commission on December 21, 2016 relating to the offering by the Company of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock” and such shares of Common Stock, the “Shares”), and prepaid warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and such shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”), which Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares are covered by the Registration Statement. We understand that the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner set forth in the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company with the purchaser named in the signature pages thereto (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, in connection with the Registration Statement.

We have acted as your counsel in connection with the preparation of the Prospectus Supplement. We are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares. We have examined all such documents as we considered necessary to enable us to render this opinion, including, but not limited to, the Registration Statement, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Company’s Amended and Restated ByLaws, certain resolutions of the Board of Directors, corporate records and instruments, and such laws and regulations as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions set forth herein.
