PDF versionResults for Life, a campaign sponsored by the American Clinical Laboratory Association (ACLA) and its partners, strives to raise awareness of the vital role clinical lab testing plays in health care by highlighting the real-life stories of those whose lives were saved or improved by laboratory testing. The Results for Life campaign is not only supported by ACLA members but a broad group of clinical laboratory interests that include clinical diagnostic companies, physician and laboratory professional groups, and companies that provide services to the clinical laboratories. RFL Presents Value of Genetic Testing to AHIP (February 16, 2011) During a February 16 conference call, Results for Life and ACLA briefed members of America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) on new molecular and genetic clinical diagnostics. With the title, “Molecular and Genetic Clinical Diagnostics: An Introduction to its Use, Application, Technology and Coding”, experts from ACLA's membership in the field of genetics and coding covered the uses and application of these diagnostics for patient care, the technologies applied for these tests and challenges presented with the current AMA CPT coding system. Presenters included Sherri Bale, Co-Founder, Gene Dx; Vicky Pratt, Chief Director, Molecular Genetics, Quest Diagnostics; and David Mongillo, Vice President for Policy and Medical Affairs, ACLA.
