Laboratory Compliance Question of the Week

Question:

Where can we find the lab and pathology codes that are subject to CLIA edits? 

Answer:

For the list of 2016 CPT-4 and HCPCS codes subject to CLIA Edits, go to https://www.cms.gov/regulations-and-guidance/legislation/clia/downloads/subjecttoclia.pdf.  

For tests (CPT-4 Codes) excluded from CLIA Edits (within the 80000 series), go to https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/CLIA/downloads/cpt4exc.pdf.
