Update on Cigna PC of CP Payment Policy- Feedback Requested

Blurb: 
As you will recall, in June the FSP, along with the CAP, and many other state pathology societies, successfully halted Cigna from discontinuing the reimbursement to pathologists for the professional component of clinical pathology. However, as of late, Cigna has reintroduced the policy and intends to discontinue reimbursement of the professional component. The FSP would like to hear from you regarding this policy change. Communicating and supporting our members is important to us and we appreciate your time in completing a short survey.
