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 are incur with coverage and payment for services.
The 2021 Practice Leader Survey is the third biennial Advocacy survey targeting pathology practice leaders. The results contained in the report published on November 8 are exclusively available to CAP members.
The 2021 report focused on pathology practice settings and recovering non-COVID-19 testing volumes. For the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, practice leaders’ year-to-date changes in non-COVID-19 clinical pathology testing and anatomic pathology testing was higher than in prior years. The average change in non-COVID-19 CP testing volume in May 2021 was 18% compared to May 2020, and the average change in AP testing volume was 20%. Practice leaders expected this trend to continue through the end of the year.
The 2021 survey asked questions about practice demographics (including questions on practice structure, case volume, and staffing levels), case mix revenue and sources (including questions on both AP and non-AP services), hiring and staffing, and market and regulatory issues regarding coverage and payment for pathology services.
