CLIA testsFrom: Henry Gregor (henrygregor@yahoo.com)Mon Apr 23 15:31:44 2007
Listers Does anyone have any knowledge of how CLIA statutes impact on physician or other provider performed microscopy testing (specifically, slide fern tests for AF leakage)? By my reading of Section 493.2 of this act, it is a moderately difficult test that requires proficiency certification and documentation for non provider staff. It is unclear to me whether that also applies to physicians, PA's, NP's, MW's, etc. Comments appreciated. This may not be a thread of interest, so off list email is welcome. Also, the local hospital has determined it will not use AmniStat testing, noting that testing for amniotic fluid is a "screening" test for which it may or may not get reimbursed. Is there experience in that regard out there among the group? Seems to me its a diagnostic test, but hey, I'm no insurance provider. Thanks in advance.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
