With Congress returning to Washington, DC following the November election, the CAP is strongly advocating to pass legislation to stop payment cuts to physicians and protect pathologists and laboratories from overregulation in 2025. Through the remainder of 2024, is the CAP is focused on:
Medicare reform
The CAP is mobilizing CAP grassroots advocates to get cosponsors for, and urge the passage of, the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act of 2024. The CAP will continue contacting and engaging House and Senate leadership and the key committees: Senate Finance, House Ways and Means, and House Energy and Commerce.
Laboratory-Developed Test (LDT) Regulation Reform
The CAP is also pushing for passage of legislation for the oversight of LDTs in lieu of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) LDT final rule, or a delay in the implementation of the rule.
The CAP continues to engage with member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and House and Senate leadership. In the coming weeks, there will be meetings with lead congressional offices on the Verifying Accurate Leading-edge IVCT Development Act (VALID).
