CAP members rally to shape federal policy

Congress is weighing policies that could reshape how you practice and how patients access care.

The impact: These decisions by lawmakers could change how pathologists and laboratories operate, and how patients get essential services.

  • New policies could add administrative hurdles or open new opportunities for your practice.
  • Medicare payment cuts and coverage changes could affect test availability and turnaround times.

The big picture: CAP members are pushing back and shaping these debates through targeted Action Alerts.

  • Reforming prior authorization to reduce delays in patient care.
  • Protecting laboratory services from Medicare payment cuts.
  • Increasing transparency in Medicare coverage decisions.
  • Stopping the physician payment “efficiency adjustment.”
  • Addressing longstanding physician workforce shortages.

Action alert: Your direct outreach matters. Take a minute to send a CAP Action Alert and help keep pathology’s voice strong on Capitol Hill.
