CodeMap® 06/07/2013: CMS Publishes Initial Gap fill Fees for MoPath Tests

CodeMap® Compliance Briefing: June 7, 2013


Editor's Welcome:  As I'm sure you all know, CMS is using the gap fill process to set payments for over 100 new molecular pathology procedures. As required by gap filling regulations, Medicare Administartive Contractors (MACs) have submitted their initial fees for each Medcare locality and CMS has now published the fees on their website.

Sincerely,

Gregory Root, Esq.
