This year, the College of American Pathologists coordinated a sustained lobbying campaign against Medicare payment cuts to pathologists in 2021. That campaign is paying off, with news that Congress will mitigate the cut by adding $3 billion to next year’s Medicare fee schedule and delaying implementation of a new evaluation and management add-on code for three years (the implementation delay is expected to restore roughly 3 percent to pathologists each year). The result amounts to $85 million more for pathologists in 2021, according to an analysis by the CAP.

The American Board of Pathology (ABPath) has announced a new status for retired, formerly board-certified pathologists. Current ABPath policy requires that diplomates must maintain a medical license and participate in Continuing Certification (if required) in order to remain board-certified. This new status of “Retired” will allow those former diplomates to remain certified.
