Evaluation of Compliance

6136 - Evaluation of Compliance (Rev. 230; Issued: 07-11-25; Effective: 07-11-25; Implementation: 07-11-25) The CLIA requirements establish a single set of conditions and standards for all laboratories. CLIA certification is required for payment for laboratory services under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. During the laboratory survey, the SA compiles all information required to determine compliance, and completes all official reports of survey findings. Survey findings under CLIA requirements are determinations made by surveyors. When the survey reports and the Form CMS-1539 are entered into the CLIA Data System, an official determination of CLIA compliance is made.
