- 2021 Practice Leader Survey Report: 1 in 5 Pathology Practice Have Consolidated
The CAP published the 2021 Practice Leaders Survey Report, providing the latest socioeconomic data on pathology practices’ structure and ownership status, case volume and revenue mix, practice staffing, and problems they incur with coverage and payment for services. In addition, the 2021 report reported on evidence of pathology practice consolidation.
According to the 2021 report, 10% of respondents indicated their practice acquired another practice/laboratory or group, and 6% merged with another organization or group. Additionally, 3% of respondents reported a portion of their practice/laboratory was acquired within two years. Together, these practices accounted for 19% of respondents, suggesting that nearly one in every five practices may have been involved in some type of practice consolidation in the last two years.
