New CMS Improper Payment Report and OIG Work Plan Places Labs in the Spotlight
A new improper payment report from CMS has placed labs in the crosshairs for potential billing audits and other actions, with documentation errors cited as the most significant ongoing issue. To compound matters, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) also recently updated its work plan to audit and review Medicaid payments for clinical lab services.
Both of these developments mean lab claims reimbursements, particularly for POLs and independent labs, will be under higher scrutiny by CMS in 2025 (and private payers are likely to follow suit). With that in mind, what can labs be doing now to ensure they are prepared if they receive an audit request?
Dyana Williams, Director of Lighthouse RCM Solutions, breaks down these updates in our latest video and offers considerations and preparation tips for concerned laboratories and providers.

    Insurance companies add no value to medical care systems. Negative value in fact. They take money from employers and employees in premiums.

They have vast amounts of power to set rates low and deny claims. They are a parasite on healthcare.

      Thank you for your comment, Sean. The in-office ancillary services rule explicitly allows physicians to add lab services to their practice. But you're right to highlight the complexity of opening a physician office lab (POL). There are many rules and regulations, a few of which you cited, that require careful navigation. This is the primary reason why physicians partner with Lighthouse Lab Services. We provide end-to-end guidance and help new labs avoid potential missteps. And while there are reimbursement challenges in your home state of Ohio, where Ohio Care Source isn't doing physicians any favors, there are many areas where compliant labs can thrive.

    There is a false premise fallacy that a DCLS cannot learn or apply deep scientific principles that a PhD learns. If the argument is that a DCLS cannot be a high complexity lab director because of the lack of research experience, then why is a MD with no laboratory research experience allowed to hold such a position? The answer is because CMS does not require a high complexity lab director to have research experience. The “lack of research experience”, is not only a flawed argument when discussing the qualifications of a DCLS as a HCLD, but it’s also an outdated one. While research for a DCLS is an important conversation, this is simply not the place for it. Don’t worry, the patients will be in good hands!

There is need for DCLSs trained in different institutions to be sharing information and making contributing to a membership college. Am not comfortable to see DCLSs using MLS as if they only have undergraduate degree. It's time to register all practicing DCLSs as Fellows. Fellow of College of Advanced Clinical Laboratory Scientists (FCACSc or FCACliSc) Or Fellow of the College of Doctors of Clinical Laboratory Science (FCDoCliSc).

    Hire one or two DCLS to be lab managers. That would be a good idea because you need a professional scientist on the floor into the lab. Someone who understands the science behind what's happening at a certain level. DCLS can do that. They would /will be a great asset cause technicians are always in need of someone with more scientific knowledge then themselves to better understand what they are doing etc. Plus their management skills will help. In terms of medical direction, I think that the best thing to do is to pick a person who is a full blown lab rat biochemistry PhD, who's published papers as a researcher etc and bring this type of candidate into the medical field by training that person as a clinical chemist on top of his PhD. Because if you don't do that, the person you're gonna put in charge of the lab will not be able to do any technology transfer from hard core academic scientist labs to the patient. Plus, other types of candidates will lack that edge in mathematics that PhDs are kind of forced to develop at some point and that is required to perform and develop new quality controls for new methods. Oh! And of course, students will go for a DCLS instead of a PhD if they can become a clinical lab director without getting a PhD. OF COURSE they're gonna do that. Why?Because getting a PhD is very hard... so to me, I'm sorry, but recruiting someone with a bacchelors degree, giving this person more classes and thinking he's gonna be an asset to the medical field as a lab director is just dreaming awake. Leveling down.

    This I think has to do with competition more than anything else. Many pathologists are really not equipped to direct a lab technically. Their expertise might be in diagnosis and even in test selection. I was part of a group of a group pushing for DCLS for many years. The DCLS has the requisite body of knowledge, the technical expertise and the experience to direct a clinical laboratory. I go so far as to say that if I had to choose, the DCLS is often times MORE qualified to direct today's laboratory than any other doctorate. As I said, this is not based on logic or facts; it's a reactive knee-jerk reaction to possible competition.

    I am in support of DCLS as lab director. However, the current criteria to enter a DCLS program is for generalist only. I personally do not feel a generalist DCLS is qualified to run a molecular lab. However, a molecular CLS specialist who were to graduate with a DCLS would be. I think there needs to be more discussion regarding this degree option and how it can help the field and I think it doesn’t need to be limited to only generalist. I believe having a specialist field option would be extremely more helpful in the industry.
