Washington, D.C. — The American Clinical Laboratory Association (ACLA) today announced that Don May has joined the organization as Senior Vice President for Reimbursement and Strategy. In this role, May will lead ACLA’s work on Medicare payment, coverage, reimbursement policy, and broader strategic initiatives to support patient access to clinical laboratory services.

Prior to his work at the Federation of American Hospitals, May served as Executive Vice President for Payment and Health Care Delivery Policy at the Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed), where he led advocacy efforts on Medicare and health care delivery policy, helped shape policy development, and oversaw advocacy research. He also served as Managing Director with the Farragut Square Group, where he led healthcare facilities research, and spent 12 years at the American Hospital Association leading policy development activities for Medicare and Medicaid payment.
