PAMA UPDATE
PAMA cuts have been delayed for another year.
Congress delayed the scheduled 15% lab reimbursement cuts for another year. Five years in a row now, the US Congress has delayed the 2014 Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA). PAMA already cut payments up to 10 percent, affecting 72 percent of tests included in the Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule.
PAMA Cuts Delayed Again
The Saving Access to Laboratory Services Act (S.4449/H.R. 8188), or SALSA, introduced in June 2022 is still pending in the Senate.
