What is a CLIA-certified laboratory?
A CLIA-certified laboratory follows a strict set of requirements and protocols as defined by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). CLIA certification requires a laboratory to have protocols for test methods, performance specifications, test report requirements, and maintenance of reports. CLIA certification ensures the quality and integrity of lab testing and results. For more information on CLIA certification, please visit www.cms.hhs.gov/clia.
