Clinical Laboratories: Easier to Report Lab Data

The Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA), requires laboratories to collect private payer payment data from January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016 and report it to CMS by March 31, 2017.A reporting entity that has multiple Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) and multiple applicable lab National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) may now register TINs and NPIs under one user. Learn how in the User Guide. For more information visit the PAMA webpage.
