New Waived Tests
This Change Request (CR) will inform contractors of new Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) waived tests approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Since these tests are marketed immediately after approval, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must notify its contractors of the new tests so that the contractors can accurately process claims.
