How Payment is Determined for Pathology Services

Practicing pathologists continue to be vexed by issues that are related to payment for the services that they provide. However, better understanding the payment structure will enable pathologists to examine their own practices and adapt to reimbursement changes. In this CAPcast, Dr. Jonathan Myles, a member of the CAP Board of Governors and an expert on pathology reimbursement policies, discusses the fundamental processes associated with payment for services under Physician Fee Schedule Medicare Part B as well payment associated with the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, both topics which he will discuss during a course he will be leading with Dr. Marc Synovec at CAP19 in Orlando, Florida: www.capannualmeeting.org.
