How Independent Labs Can Gain Payer Network Access

Independent and physician-owned laboratories across the U.S. continue to face the growing challenge of limited or denied access to payer networks. In this webinar, Dr. Sherry Dadgar, CEO of Personalized Medicine Care Diagnostics, and Lighthouse's Jon Harol and Ann Lambrix discuss how labs can overcome these barriers and secure in-network status. Dr. Dadgar shares insights from successful advocacy efforts and legislative victories in select states, including legal victories that have expanded payer access for independent labs, and introduces a developing nationwide initiative to unite labs across all 50 states. Harol also helps make the case for broader payer access for laboratories to help expand patient access. Lambrix provides actionable strategies labs can use today to approach payers, strengthen contracting negotiations, and prepare for potential legislation designed to improve network inclusion.
