New Waived Tests
The purpose of this change request is to inform contractors of new CLIA waived tests approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Since these tests are marketed immediately after approval, CMS must notify its contractors of the new tests so that the contractors can accurately process claims. There are eight (8) newly added waived complexity tests. The initial release of this recurring update notification applies to chapter 16, section 70.8 of the Internet Only Manual (IOM).
