College of American Pathologists, CRUSH & Genomics Fraud; Doesn't Like National MolDx

Since comments closed on March 31, I've highlighted several groups that commented, such as ACLA and the BCBS Association.  Both supported "nationalization" of MolDx, a topic on which HHS was seeking input.   (ACLA had some guardrails, though).

College of American Pathologists (CAP) posted its comments, 7 pages long.  A substantial proportion of the comment recounts problems that CAP sees with MolDx, including the whole Z-code system.

The national Medicaid medical directors' organization NAMD submitted lengthy comments on crush, with no mention of genetic test fraud, suggesting they don't view it as a problem and have little difficulty in avoiding or preventing it.  (Here).  This makes Medicare Part B's billion-dollar fraud problems in Texas and Florida even more embarassing.
