How the Economic Affairs Committee Protects the Value of Pathology Services

The EAC is largely responsible for health care policy that affects the coverage, payment, and overall value of pathology services. In this podcast, Jonathan Myles, MD, FCAP, chair of the Council on Government and Professional Affairs spoke with three leaders of the EAC: Ronald McLawhon, MD, PhD, FCAP, who chairs the EAC; Theresa Emory, MD, FCAP, Vice Chair of the EAC, and Jan Nowak, MD, FCAP. They each discussed a wide range of issues and different policies that allow pathologists to be paid, as well as the payment challenges pathologists face in the future.
