Lab Network Access Challenges: A National Strategy to Open Closed Payer Networks

Independent and physician-owned laboratories across the country continue to face the same uphill battle when it comes to limited or denied access to payer networks.
Join Dr. Sherry Dadgar, CEO of Personalized Medicine Care Diagnostics, and Ann Lambrix, Executive Director of RCM Solutions at Lighthouse Lab Services, for an eye-opening discussion on what it will take to change this dynamic.

Dr. Dadgar is spearheading a national initiative to unite small and mid-sized laboratories in a push for network inclusion across all 50 states. During this event, she’ll outline the current barriers to broader payer access, her successful advocacy model, and the steps labs can take to participate in a coordinated nationwide effort.

We’ll also expand on these efforts by sharing actionable strategies labs can use today to negotiate payer contracts, strengthen reimbursement positioning, and advocate for new legislation aimed at improving network access.

• Understand the current landscape of payer network exclusions and why they persist
• Learn strategies to strengthen your lab’s case for in-network inclusion
• Hear how one lab’s advocacy success can serve as a national blueprint
• Discover how upcoming legislation could change the payer access equation
