CLFS Defined
The Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (CLFS) is the primary way that Medicare communicates payment rates for clinical diagnostic services. The CLFS lists payment rates for nearly 2,000 lab tests that are available to Medicare beneficiaries.

How Payment Rates Are Set for New Diagnostic Tests
Once each year, usually in late June, CMS welcomes manufacturers of new lab tests to present information supporting a national CLFS payment rate for the test in the following year.
After the public meeting, CMS convenes its CLFS Advisory Panel, made up of industry experts to provide an additional point of reference that can be used by CMS to establish payment rates.
Our Meticulous Process
From start to finish, our meticulous process takes at least 12 months.
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your test, delving into its intricacies, costs, and execution. Our expert team then determines an appropriate CLFS payment rate tailored to your specific test and devises a compelling strategy to convince CMS.
We leave no stone unturned in developing and clearly communicating our pricing decision to CMS, and we follow up diligently to ensure your test receives the favorable payment it deserves.
At Gettysburg Healthcare Consulting, we are dedicated to being your trusted Medicare and Medicaid policy professionals, guiding you through every step of this intricate journey.
How to Get Your Test Price
If you want to get CLFS payment for your new test, you’ll need to acquire a unique HCPCS code for your laboratory test.
Once you’ve obtained the code, be prepared to explain the costs, resources, and clinical staff needed for your test, along with any other relevant data that can support the price.
