Expanding on our recent blog post discussing CMS's final rule (the "Final Rule") implementing portions of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 related to clinical laboratories, my colleague Karen Lovitch and I published an article in BNA's Medicare Report entitled CMS Regulations Overhaul Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule. The article discusses the reporting obligations of clinical laboratories, the impact of the Final Rule on reimbursement for clinical laboratory tests, and areas in which laboratories should expect further sub-regulatory guidance from CMS.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
