List Of Clia Waived Tests 2023
The CPT codes for Clia waived tests can be found below. The following information is for the CLIA waived tests list. CR 11354 informs MACs of the new Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) waived tests approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
What Is A Clia Waived Test?
Since the CLIA-waived tests are marketed immediately after approval, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must notify the MACs of the new tests so that they can accurately process claims.
Make sure your billing staff are aware of these CLIA-related changes.
CR 11354 presents the latest tests approved by the FDA as waived tests under CLIA.
The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for these new tests must have modifier QW to be recognized as a waived test.
The CLIA Waived Tests List mentioned on the first page attached to CR 11354 does not require modifier QW to be recognized as a waived test.
