50-70% of insured patients will have a laboratory test each year¹ and 5 of the top 10 codes billed to CMS in 2008 were for laboratory services². New laboratory technologies, more labs performing a greater number of complex clinical tests, the development of new genomic and genetic testing, physician detailing and direct to consumer marketing are all fueling increases in lab utilization. According to a 2008 report, laboratory services are increasing at 7% per year, with molecular and genetic testing increasing at more than 20% per year³.
CareCore National’s Lab Management Program with LabPrint™, developed in partnership with the University of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, is the first-in-marketplace program with both medical and payment policy for molecular and genetic testing, anatomic pathology and clinical laboratory, while directing patients to genetic counseling as appropriate for genetic testing.
