The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulate all clinical laboratory testing in the United States. This guide covers certification levels, requirements, and how Omni Genomix supports your compliance journey.
For simple, low-risk tests with minimal chance of error. Most point-of-care and at-home collection tests fall here.
For tests requiring more complex procedures, instrumentation, or interpretation. Most integrative medicine labs operate at this level.
For the most complex tests requiring sophisticated instrumentation, highly trained personnel, and rigorous quality control. Full-service reference labs operate here.
Omni Genomix guides you through every step of CLIA certification as part of our Enterprise Lab Buildout service.
We evaluate your practice goals, test menu, and state regulations to determine the appropriate CLIA certification level and develop a compliance roadmap.
