What Hospital and Health Network Labs Must Know to Comply with PAMA Private Payer Price Reporting
This comprehensive workshop is designed to help hospital CEOs, CFOs, their laboratory administrators, and others tasked with data reporting and other requirements of PAMA to fulfill this federal law, with the data reported used to calculate an updated Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule expected to go into effect Jan. 1, 2021.
“What Hospital and Health Network Clinical Laboratories Must Know to Comply with PAMA Private Payer Price Reporting” is based on federal guidance, enhanced by the expertise of health law practice attorneys, health system leaders who are already reporting data, and other experts.
