CLIA in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, laboratories performing certain types of diagnostic testing must be CLIA-certified to bill for their services. CLIA certification ensures that the laboratory meets quality standards for accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of test results. CLIA numbers must often be included on claims for laboratory services.
For example, a hospital laboratory includes its CLIA number on claims for blood tests to ensure proper billing and compliance with federal regulations.
