RESULTS Act Reforms Medicare payment rates for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests by improving data accuracy and collection.
The RESULTS Act amends title XVIII of the Social Security Act to enhance the accuracy and feasibility of data collection for Medicare payment rates for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests. It mandates the use of data from a qualifying comprehensive claims database of an independent national nonprofit entity for widely available non-Advanced diagnostic laboratory tests. The bill also modifies payment rates for non-widely available non-Advanced diagnostic laboratory tests and updates the data collection periods for clinical diagnostic laboratory tests.
