New Waived Tests
This instruction informs contractors of new waived tests approved by the Food and Drug Administration under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988. Since these tests are marketed immediately after approval, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services must notify its contractors of the new tests so that the contractors can accurately process claims.
