I. GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Background:
The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) regulations require a facility to be
appropriately certified for each test performed. To ensure that Medicare & Medicaid only pay for laboratory
tests categorized as waived complexity under CLIA in facilities with a CLIA certificate of waiver, laboratory
claims are currently edited at the CLIA certificate level.
Listed below are the latest tests approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as waived tests under
CLIA. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for the following new tests must have the modifier
QW to be recognized as a waived test. However, the tests mentioned on the first page of the attached list (i.e.,
CPT codes: 81002, 81025, 82270, 82272, 82962, 83026, 84830, 85013, and 85651) do not require a QW
modifier to be recognized as a waived test.
