DESCRIPTION
Labs performing molecular infectious disease testing within a MolDX jurisdiction must now register for a unique DEX code z-identifier to receive a fixed reimbursement for laboratory developed tests or “expanded” panels that test for more than five targets. During this webinar we will review the MolDX program, and under which conditions the labs need to apply for a new Z-code.
At the end of the webinar the attendees will have an understanding of the reimbursement landscape for molecular testing and how the new MolDX requirements should be applied in daily routine.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed for physicians, lab supervisors, lab directors (and/or assistant directors), lab managers (supervisory and/or non-supervisory), medical technologists, point-of-care coordinators, pathologists, in-training individuals, and other laboratory professionals overseeing/conducting within this topic.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Define what MolDX and Z-codes are.
- Identify the rules for payment in Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs)/Payer Policy.
- Explain Laboratory Benefit Management (LBM) and its role in payer policy and reimbursement for laboratory testing
- Define the role of Medical Necessity in the reimbursement landscape.
