Abstract

In July 2021, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published a proposed fee schedule that will negatively impact practices that perform dermatopathology services. In this article, we review the proposed new and improved codes and values for pathology consultation codes as well as new payment rates. We also discuss the proposed 2022 quality payment program (QPP), and we provide an update on the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) and its impact on dermatopathology reports.
