CMS Medicare Learning Network released MLN006270, a fact sheet explaining the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Program as it relates to Medicare lab services. The document provides guidance on how laboratories can enroll in the program, describes the types of laboratory certificates available, and outlines test method categorization requirements.

Healthcare providers operating clinical laboratories should review this fact sheet to understand CLIA enrollment requirements and ensure their certification status is current for Medicare participation. The document is informational and does not impose new compliance obligations or deadlines.
