The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) of 1988 established licensing requirements for facilities (including EMS firms) performing lab tests. Even simple tests such as blood glucose testing and monitoring fall under the CLIA requirements. Fortunately, those simple tests that are commonly performed on EMS units qualify for a CLIA Certificate of Waiver. Effective September 1, 2004, EMS Providers will be responsible for securing and maintaining a current CLIA Certificate of Waiver. This applies to any firm using glucometers or other devices to test blood or other patient fluids. |
