Medicare, Medicaid and CLIA programs; regulations implementing the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act Program fee collection--HCFA. Final rule with comment period.

In the February 28, 1992, issue of the Federal Register (57 FR 7002), the Department of Health and Human Services established rules that set forth the test performance requirements for laboratories that are subject to the CLIA requirements. This rule corrects both typographical and technical errors made in that document as well as provides some additional clarification after a limited review of the comments we received after the publication of the rule.
