CLIA INSPECTION ALERT ***
We have learned that CMS has modified its rules
governing High Complesity Testing in the Mohs laboratory. Up until recently CMS did not consider inking and mapping to be
High Complexity Testing, but only the specimen removal and slide reading portions of the Mohs procedure which are always performed
by the Mohs surgeon. NOW, Inking and Mapping are considered High Complexity Testing similar to their rule about Grossing biopsies
for processing to produce permanent biopsy H&E slides. This means that from now on, CLIA inspectors will be checking educational
requirements for technicians who are performing Inking and Mapping. Call and request more information on these new requirements.
This started this last December 2010. This means that now, if a technician does not meet the educational requirements for
High Complexity Testing under CLIA the Mohs surgeon must ink and map the specimen. There is no written rule governing this
compliance issue at the present time. Keep us in mind if you need We will be glad to help you stay in compliance with CLIA!
