- Over 350 Pathologists Urge Congress to Cosponsor SALSA Act Before August
Over 350 pathologists responded to an Action Alert by the CAP sent to its grassroots advocacy network delivering over 1,150 messages to Congress encouraging legislators to cosponsor the Saving Access to Laboratory Services Act (SALSA) before they break for August recess.
Absent congressional action, pathologists and the laboratories they direct are facing a round of up to 15% in cuts to the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule in 2025 due to the inaccurate laboratory data collection caused by the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA). Congress has intervened multiple times in the past to pass legislation that stopped these cuts. While Congress has put in place a patch to prevent these cuts for 2024, we need a permanent solution.
Even if you've taken action on SALSA before, we need you to keep pushing. Please reach out to your members of Congress and urge them to cosponsor SALSA today!
