I can talk about some highlights from the PowerPoint (attached.) I could go through the Initiative plan slides and talk a bit about Genes in Life and some of the other initiatives.

Subject: Please Join ACMG for a Two-Part Webinar Series on the Current Crisis in Molecular Pathology Reimbursement
Dear RC Project Directors and Project Managers,
Please join ACMG for a two-part webinar series on the current crisis in molecular pathology reimbursement, and what labs can be doing now to optimize the chances of a favorable outcome.
Background & Objectives
ACMG is providing this webinar series as an educational resource to provide laboratories with information and resources they need to participate effectively in the ongoing molecular pathology rate-setting process. Payers such as Medicare will drastically slash reimbursements for the new molecular pathology (MoPath) codes moving forward, UNLESS laboratories take action now.
Presented by speakers from Quorum Consulting, Inc<http://acmg.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zMjYwNDg2JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDU5ODkzNDUmbGk9MTcyNzY0Mzg/index.html%3Chttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://acmg.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zMjYwNDg2JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDU5ODkzNDUmbGk9MTcyNzY0Mzg/index.html&k=7DHVT22D9IhC0F3WohFMBA%3D%3D%0A&r=rX%2BpwtxS62RFz%2BMe%2BGygIuxlYqsdJqSFMkXPQTg4Occ%3D%0A&m=6N55CscmrooxS4YIPaFQykFN9yvBJ0YmC%2FG1E1dakU4%3D%0A&s=8c81102858102064067bc5996fb7a730d881788cb6048d09da654e4fb01a09c0>>., Part I addresses the background and current status of the rate-setting process, while Part II focuses on what laboratories can and should be doing to advocate for sustainable reimbursement during this critical period.*
Registration is limited for this webinar series so it is offered on a first come first serve basis. Please register soon if you are interested in participating
Who Should Attend
Laboratory Directors, Chief Financial Officers, Billing Managers, and/or any individuals in your organization who supervise billing and reimbursement.
