CLIA
The objective of the CLIA program is to ensure quality laboratory testing. Although all clinical laboratories must be properly certified to receive Medicare or Medicaid payments, CLIA has no direct Medicare or Medicaid program responsibilities. The program is administered by the federally regulated Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) agency.
The CMS CLIA website has information such as Regulations, forms, brochures, etc.
