Many of the nation’s hospital and health system CEOs and CFOs remain unaware that they are required to report their private payer clinical laboratory test price data to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) starting Jan. 1, 2020. Those that fail to report this data, required by the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA), may be assessed penalties of up to $10,000 per day for each failure to report, misrepresentation, or omission!
