CMS Publishes Agenda for July 25-26 Lab Expert Advisors Meeting (Pricing 2025)

On June 25, 2024, CMS held a public meeting for comments on pricing nearly 100 new lab codes for 2025. (My blog here.)

CMS has published a video link to that June meeting; I've added it on top as an update to the prior link.

Next, CMS will hold an expert advisors meeting on June 25-26 (the second day depends on needing more time).   

Here's the page, and note that they've posted a 17 page agenda for the June 25-26 meeting.

Note that while the June 25 meeting had an open zoom link, this one appears to require registration (see Appendix 1.)

The agenda starts at 10 ET, 7 PT (good for us Californians).   

The agenda includes a half hour after lunch to discuss the CLFS pricing process and (I suppose) possible improvements.
