A Client of mine showed me some proposed changes to Physician Payments by CMS.   Essentially the Doc would get a fixed sum for a diagnosis code that includes labs.  Labs would not have separate billings.  Just like inpatient hospital MS-DRG billing.   If this is true, what effects do you think this will have to clinical labs such as LCA?  Anyone heard any scuttlebutt regarding this type of payment change?
