Pediatric patients pose a unique challenge for the laboratory. Creating a positive experience can impact their impression of the laboratory for many years.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act was developed to allow for temporary waivers for some regulations including PAMA.

Laboratory Access for Beneficiaries Act was passed in December 2019. This success delays PAMA reporting by one year.
