Update on the Competitive Bidding Demonstration Program for Medicare Clinical Laboratory Services
April 8, 2008
On April 8, United States Federal District Court Judge, Thomas J. Whelan granted a preliminary injunction on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, prohibiting CMS from announcing bid winners, otherwise implementing and carrying out the demonstration project in the San Diego metropolitan area, and further disclosing any information included in the bid applications. The decision was timely in that CMS was supposed to announce bid winners for the San Diego demonstration site on April 11. Because a preliminary injunction only delays the implementation of the demonstration until further Court order, it is critical that Congress act now to provide a permanent solution. We encourage you to contact your Members of Congress and urge them to co-sponsor and vote in favor of S. 2099 and H.R. 3453. For more information, please visit ASM's Legislative Communications Site.
