[QUOTE="anonymous, post: 5886799"]Does any one know about this new PAMA law that is going to cut approx 50 % from the curent medicare rates effective Jan 1 2018 in the Toxicology segment ?? I had a doctor ask me today "if it is going to force all Tox labs out of business " XIFIN tapped its data base to look at the data that its client labs will report to CMS for 20 high-volume lab tests. It calculated a weighted average price that private payers paid for these four lab sectors when compared with the Medicare lab fee schedule, as follows: Independent labs are paid 19.6% less. [LIST] [*]Hospital labs with NPIs are paid 25.6% more. [*]Molecular and genetic testing labs are paid 27.3% more. [*]Pain management and toxicology labs are paid 50.4% more. [/LIST] If this actually happens are we going to go out of businees!! After looking up PAMA It scared the #%$% out of me! I am sort of new and any honest feeback will be greatly appreciated?? Thanks,[/QUOTE]
