CMS has, in recent days, released final Gapfill/Crosswalk decisions for the year, and published the results of the MAC gapfill process as well, which included some favorable appeals that raised prices finalized by MACs earlier this fall.  (Story at Genomeweb, November 22, here.)

Today, November 29, CMS posted the full A to Z CLFS fee schedule for 2017.
  • The file is available at CMS, here.
