What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "RESULTS Act," aims to amend the Social Security Act to stabilize Medicare access to clinical diagnostic laboratory tests. It focuses on improving the accuracy and feasibility of collecting data regarding private payor-based payment rates. The legislation introduces requirements for the Secretary to contract with an independent national nonprofit entity to access a comprehensive claims database. This new data collection method is intended to refine how Medicare payment rates are determined for various laboratory tests. Additionally, the bill establishes default payment procedures for certain tests when data is unavailable.
