New preliminary CMS payment rates under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) are expected to impose "steep annual payment cuts," creating significant margin pressure. Despite reaffirming its long-term outlook, the company must now find ways to offset this reimbursement pressure to achieve its goal of 75-150 basis points of margin expansion by 2029.
Filing excerpt
Labcorp Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) believes the payment rates are based on data that is not fully representative of the broader commercial laboratory market and would impose steep annual payment cuts that threaten patient access to laboratory services.
