CLIA
CMS regulates all laboratory testing (except research) performed on humans in the U.S. through the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments. In total, CLIA covers approximately 320,000 laboratory entities.
Although all clinical laboratories must be properly certified to receive Medicare or Medicaid payments, CLIA has no direct Medicare or Medicaid program responsibilities.
Certification
There are five CLIA certificate types, all of which are effective for a period of two years. They are as follows, in order of increasing complexity:
Waiver: Laboratory can only perform waived tests, those that are simple to perform. Although routine inspections are not conducted, 2% are visited annually to ensure quality. Does not waive the lab from all CLIA requirements.
Provider-Performed Microscopy (PPM): In addition to waived tests, a physician, mid-level practitioner or dentist can perform limited tests of moderate complexity requiring microscopic examination. No routine inspections are conducted.
Registration: Laboratory has applied for a Compliance or Accreditation certificate, enabling it to conduct moderate/high complexity testing until the survey is completed. Includes PPM and waived testing.
Compliance: Allows the laboratory to conduct moderate/high complexity testing and is issued after an inspection finds the lab to be in compliance with all applicable CLIA requirements. Includes PPM and waived testing.
Accreditation: Exactly the same as Compliance, except that the laboratory is accredited by one of the CMS-approved organizations:
