The Recent CMS Announcement and What it Means for Your Laboratory
Soon, U.S. laboratories that fail to process coronavirus diagnostic tests within two calendar days of collection will be penalized with smaller reimbursement payments from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Starting on January 1, 2021, the base payment rate for a COVID-19 diagnostic test will drop to $75, and a $25 add-on payment will be made to laboratories that are able to complete the test in two calendar days or less.
To read the official CMS announcement and find out what your lab can do to improve its turnaround times, check out our LigoLab Blog.
