    Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Minority Leaders McCarthy and McConnell:

    As organizations representing laboratories, health care providers, laboratory professionals, and diagnostic manufacturers, we respectfully urge Congress to take action to protect patient access to clinical laboratory services by enacting the Saving Access to Laboratory Services Act (SALSA/H.R. 8188/S.4449) prior to January 1, 2023. SALSA is bipartisan and bicameral legislation to update Medicare’s payment system for clinical diagnostic lab services, ensuring seniors and patients have access to essential diagnostic tests.
