The Medicare Advisory Panel on Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Tests (CDLTs) is holding a public meeting on Monday, September 25, 2017. The Panel will discuss calendar year 2018 clinical laboratory fee schedule codes for which CMS received no applicable information to calculate a Medicare payment rate. The list of CDLTs that will be discussed during the meeting is available here. During the meeting the Panel will consider public recommendations on whether the codes should be included on the CLFS, and if so, what method of payment should be used to price the test codes (crosswalking or gapfilling). The agenda with webcast and call-in information is posted here.
