How SALSA Would Fix Clinical Lab Repricing

Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule repricing under PAMA has long been a pain point for labs and the patients they serve. Fortunately, the recently introduced Saving Access to Lab Services Act (SALSA) would fix the currently inequitable process by requiring CMS to use a statistically representative sample of the entire laboratory market to determine future CLFS rates and creates protections against drastic annual rate cuts. Voicing support for SALSA will be key as the act must pass prior to the next scheduled PAMA reporting cycle in January 2023.

In this webinar recording, we welcome Erin Morton, Senior Vice President, and Meghan Riley, Vice President, of Washington, D.C.-based CRD Associates to provide an overview of SALSA and how the legislation would impact the current PAMA reporting process. We will also provide an update on action steps labs can take to support SALSA and set the CLFS on a sustainable path moving forward.
