Our groups are concerned that the agency did not gather financial data from a sufficient number of laboratories, which resulted in lower than expected payment rates. AACC also conducted a grassroots campaign urging its members to contact their legislators in support of legislative action to require CMS to gather more 'representative' payment data and to streamline the process for submitting the data.
