CSP Business Meeting - Panel Discussion
Friday, December 5th 3:30-5:30pm
Hyatt Regency San Francisco Ballroom
Policy and Payment Changes Affecting Pathology -
Moving From "Policing Pathologists" To
Promoting "High Value Practice"
Hear from a panel of experts on trends and policy decisions that are reshaping the reimbursement for pathology services. There are changes in fee-for-service payments, frequency limits, numerical bundling and the prospect of expansion of the bundled payments to facilities beyond the current DRG and OPPS systems. What are the pressures that drive these policy changes and what can you expect to see in the coming years?
An expert panel will discuss the opposing policy perspectives and an analysis of those dynamics, and, with your input, focus on how payment policies can be developed that promote and reward efficient high-quality practice and what pathology organizations can focus on to prepare us all to thrive in the higher volume, higher value future of diagnostic testing. The focus is on Medicare since changes within that system often serve as a model for other payers to follow. This is a discussion that every pathologist needs to hear and participate in.
