Why Are Laboratories in the Cross Hairs?

Powered by

Medicare paid between 18% and 30% more than other insurers for some lab tests, an HHS Office of Inspector General report found. 

The change was called for in the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA), which also requires clinical laboratories to report on private insurance payment amounts and lab test volumes.

The agency projects savings of $360 million for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests in 2017 as a result of the change, and a $5.14 billion savings within the first 10 years of the rule's implementation, according to the proposed rule.

CMS Laboratory Costs

• The CMS Medicare program pays approximately $8 billion a year for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests. 

• Total CMS Medicare spend in 2014 was $597 Billion. 

• Labs account for 1.3% of Medicare Spend

• PAMA is projected to save $5 Billion (over 10 years) so 500 million/yr

Lab Consolidation has Accelerated in the Last 4 Years

Strategic advantages to consolidation:

• Geographic diversity reduces vulnerability to adverse economic and political developments in any particular region.

• Increased access to new products / services. 

• Mitigates impact of decreased reimbursement for core testing business.

• Mitigates impact of increased competition from hospital outreach programs & physician insourcing.
