Unless Congress acts before the end of this year, steep Medicare payments rates for the majority of clinical tests will be implemented starting January 2027. HR 5269/S 2761, the Reforming and Enhancing Sustainable Updates to Laboratory Testing Services (RESULTS) Act, would stop these cuts from being implemented and instead establish a new system that provides CMS with representative and comprehensive commercial claims data, reducing the administrative burden of data collection and reporting for both clinical laboratories and CMS. Further, it would limit payment reductions to 5% per year to protect laboratories from sudden destabilizing rate changes.
