AMP's 4th Annual Molecular Pathology Economics Summit
August 16th, 2024
Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington D.C.


AMP’s Molecular Pathology Economics Summit will be a highly interactive one-day event that will:

  • Identify barriers to appropriate reimbursement for molecular pathology procedures;
  • Examine the impact of these barriers on various stakeholders and patient access to care; and
  • Propose potential solutions and/or novel approaches to overcoming barriers to implement shared policy goals from participating stakeholders in oncology, infectious diseases, and inherited conditions.

The 2023 Summary of Themes coming soon

On September 13th, 2023, AMP hosted the third Economics Summit with the following objectives:

  • Identify and analyze the aspects of coding, pricing and reimbursement that create barriers to patient access.
  • Discuss potential solutions to those barriers and provide practical, interdisciplinary action items to implement across the sector.

 

AMP was pleased to facilitate this event and sought to have broad stakeholder input, which consisted of 60 individuals representing diagnostic manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, trade associations, professional organizations, clinical laboratories, and patient advocacy groups. The Summit was divided into three sessions. The first focused on various stakeholder perspectives with representation from clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, patient advocacy organizations, and diagnostic manufacturers and their respective approaches to the unique challenges associated with molecular diagnostic coding, coverage, and reimbursement. These interactive, candid conversations explored barriers and potential solutions to patient access.  AMP also held breakout sessions to identify shared policy priorities which allowed stakeholders to determine practical and applicable solutions. Each of the four groups provided several proposed action items for stakeholders to implement in 2024. The third session, led by AMP, facilitated discussions on the future of molecular pathology including artificial intelligence.
