CMS & CLIA Regulations

  • Per the CMS, all laboratories that have “cytology (GYN)” listed on their CLIA license are required to enroll each of their laboratory or hospital sites performing gynecologic cytology into an approved GYN cytology proficiency test program.
  • Per CLIA, all laboratories must ensure that each cytotechnologist and pathologist examining or interpreting gynecologic cytology preparations is enrolled and tested according to the regulatory protocol within the specified timeframes by a CMS-approved Cytology PT program each calendar year.
  • Those individuals not currently employed or working as locum tenens can test directly with ASCP to fulfill this annual mandate.
