On April 1, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA) was enacted into law. Section 216, entitled Improving Medicare Policies for Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Tests, modernizes the Medicare payment system for clinical laboratory tests with the establishment of a market-based payment system. This is the most significant modernization of the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (CLFS) since the introduction of the CLFS in 1984.
