In March 2023 CMS announced a January 1st, 2025 implementation date for the addition and deletion of analytes or microbiology tests, and the updates to the criteria for acceptable performance. This date aligned with PT provider approval and laboratory PT enrollment processes.
If you have not already updated your 2025 PT enrollment, review our list of changes in the link below and make sure you are enrolled in 5 samples, 3 times a year, for all regulated analytes.
In addition, since the criteria for acceptable performance have changed for many analytes, we advise reviewing your PT evaluations carefully in 2025 for any analytes that might need attention to ensure successful PT performance in the future.
Please see the attachment 2025 CLIA CHANGES for more information.
