Abstract
We review recent dermatology and dermatopathology advocacy successes resulting in the reversal of immunohistochemistry (IHC) stain reimbursement denials. We also highlight a new position statement on IHC utilization, explain modifications to the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988 and College of American Pathologists (CAP) laboratory director requirements, and outline critical legislative initiatives including support for federal payment reform for physicians.
