CLIA Certification

This program operates under the authority of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services enforcing clinical laboratory regulations. The Utah Department of Health contracts with the federal government inspecting clinical laboratories within the state. Facilities performing any testing of human samples for the purpose of assessing a condition or diagnosing an illness are considered a laboratory and are subject to these regulations.
