  • Title: Medicare, Medicaid, and CLIA programs; clinical laboratory requirements--extension of certain effective dates for clinical laboratory requirements under CLIA--CDC, HCFA. Final rule with comment period.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1997 May 12; 62(91):25855-8. PubMed ID: 10173015.
    Abstract:
    This final rule extends certain effective dates for clinical laboratory requirements in regulations published on February 28, 1992, and subsequently revised December 6, 1994, that implemented provisions of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA). This rule extends the phase-in date of the quality control requirements applicable to moderate and high complexity tests and extends the date by which an individual with a doctoral degree must possess board certification to qualify as a director of a laboratory that performs high complexity testing. These effective dates are extended to allow the Department additional time to issue revised quality control requirements and to ensure laboratory directors are able to complete certification requirements. These effective date extensions do not reduce the current requirements for quality test performance.
