Deadline to Register: Tuesday, December 8,
2015
The clinical laboratory industry is facing an unprecedented
level of change and uncertainty. A recently published proposed rule by
CMS, pursuant to the Protecting Access to Medicare Act
(PAMA), will drastically cut reimbursement rates for certain diagnostic tests and create
burdensome reporting and tracking obligations for health care providers. Simultaneously, the
FDA has proposed to begin, for the first time, regulating laboratory
developed tests as medical devices. Our panel will explore the legal
and policy issues related to PAMA, its implementation, its
implications for providers, and its impact, and the FDA’s legal
authority to regulate laboratory developed tests, expected legal challenges to the
FDA’s jurisdiction, and legislative alternatives being considered.
Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m., followed by the
program from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. Special meal requests need to be
received no later than Tuesday, December 8.
