The Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA) significantly overhauled the existing Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (CLFS), establishing new payment rates for diagnostic tests paid on this fee schedule. CMS will soon begin the process of receiving commercial payer payment rates during the second round of PAMA data reporting beginning January 1, 2020.

CLFS reimbursement for years 2021 – 2023 will be determined based on the weighted median payment calculated from applicable laboratory (including hospital outreach laboratories) submissions of private payer payment data. It is critical that all providers submitting payment information to CMS under PAMA know the rules and resources to comply with CMS requirements. This webinar will help you determine what data must be reported, how to navigate the CMS data reporting portal and the timeline required to complete applicable information submissions. Please join us for this important informational webinar hosted by nationally recognized McDermott+Consulting speakers Dr. Paul Radensky and Deborah Godes.
