Clinical
Laboratory Certification (CLIA)
This program operates
under the authority of the federal Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services to enforce clinical laboratory regulations
(CLIA '88). The Utah Department of Health has contracted with
the federal government to inspect clinical laboratories within
the state. All facilities performing any testing on human samples
for the purpose of assessing a condition or providing information for diagnosing, preventing, or treating an illness
are considered a laboratory and are subject to these regulations.
Additonal information for Utah laboratories is available by calling (801) 965-2531. Fax (801) 965-2544.
