CORRECTION: Molecular Assays Stave Off Big Cuts in 2017 Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule

摘要

Editor's Note: The lead story in the November 25,2016 issue of LIR is about changes to the 20 7 7 Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule affecting reimbursement for clinical laboratory tests. The first section of the story discusses new molecular tests added to the CLFS in 2017, specifically the seven tests that were in line for major price cuts. The punchline was that the price cuts CMS proposed were never made. The Problem: Although the analysis was correct, the article listed the wrong pricing information for these and other molecular tests contained in the CLFS. Here is a revised version of the affected parts of the article listing the correct prices, including a chart providing a clearer comparison between the CMS proposed and final National Limitation Rate for each test. G2 apologizes for the error and thanks our loyal and attentive users for bringing it to our attention.
