Diagnostic Lab Testing Transparency Act
This bill requires Medicare-participating clinical diagnostic labs to publicly disclose pricing for covered tests starting January 2025. Labs must post three specific prices online: the discounted cash price, minimum negotiated rate with insurers, and maximum negotiated rate for each test, including related services like specimen collection. The information must be updated annually and made accessible on a public website. This directly affects labs that serve Medicare patients, aiming to increase price transparency for consumers and insurers.
