Gene Green: “Today, LDTs have increased in complexity and availability. They are often used to diagnose serious medical conditions.”

I would like to submit the following letters for the record.

I am extremely disappointed that 2 years after the passage of Cures we still do not have the regulations necessary to implement these provisions.

The Cures Act aimed to build on the progress of the HITECH Act of 2009, but by focusing on improving interoperability, patient access to their health records, and reducing provider burden.

Neither these bills nor the Committee's other efforts have gone far enough to address many of the underlying challenges facing this sector.
