For several months, the CAP had urged Congress to enact additional relief to alleviate the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and further support pathologists and laboratories. In year-end legislation that mitigated future Medicare payment cuts to pathologists, which passed by the House and Senate on December 21, the Congress provided additional monies for public health, physician and other health care provider support, and financial and economic relief. President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on December 27.

In addition to the relief from 2021 Medicare cuts that the CAP and other physician associations secured, these provisions will affect the US health care system.
