Medicare’s New Market-Based Reimbursement System for Clinical Laboratory Testing: Tipping Point Ahead for U.S. Labs in 2018 – Webinar – ResearchAndMarkets.com
This online training will cover PAMA mandates, CMS regulatory requirements, guidance and related government reports on implementing a new Medicare market-based Part B fee schedule for laboratory services.
Why Should You Attend:
This webinar details the methodology and related requirements adopted by CMS for developing a revised Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (CLFS) using rates paid by private health insurance companies, Medicaid Managed Care Organizations and Medicare Advantage plans. Key changes covered include the market-based data approach that Medicare uses to set payment rates; the switchover to a national fee schedule creating a single payment rate nationwide for each test without local variation; and the creation of a new category of tests, Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory Tests (ADLTs) and the different pricing methods and reporting periods for existing and new ADLTs.
Learning Objectives:
- Find out how Medicare rates for high volume tests will change in 2018
- Determine how higher-priced payments for genetic & molecular tests will fare under the new market-based Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule
- Discover which tests registered the largest reductions and those that recorded the highest increases under the preliminary pricing scheme
- Understand how CMS is handling pricing for those test codes with insufficient private payor payment data available
- Assess the position of CMS about pricing automated test panels under its revised Medicare payment scheme
- Learn about the latest guidance relating to Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory Tests (ADLTs)
- Explain the process for commenting on the preliminary PAMA market-based payment rates and its impact on final CMS pricing decisions
