Final Month of PAMA Reporting: Is Your Lab Ready?

July marks the final month of the 2026 PAMA reporting period. Laboratories that meet the definition of an applicable laboratory, which most do, have until July 31, 2026 to submit required private payor data to CMS.

Since the reporting period opened May 1, CMS has been receiving data from laboratories and updating its Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) with clarifications. Additional updates are expected throughout the month, so laboratories should continue monitoring the CMS PAMA Reporting Resources page for the latest guidance.

Now is the time to verify your reporting is complete and aligned with the latest CMS requirements. Contact TELCOR if you have any questions.
