The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have proposed
updates to the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988
(CLIA) proficiency testing (PT) regulations to address the
evolution in laboratory testing technology since the CLIA PT
regulations were initially established in 1992. The proposed rule
would, among other things, revise the list of analytes requiring PT
and update the scoring criteria for acceptable laboratory
performance. Comments on the proposed rule will be accepted until
April 5, 2019.
