Waived Testing Packages

       Waived Testing—The Importance of Performing Proficiency Testing

  Tests classified as “waived” are exempt from most federal regulations, including PT
  requirements. Many labs choose to participate in PT however, to ensure the quality
  of their patient testing. Performing PT provides an excellent indicator of the accu-
  racy and reliability of your waived test results. In addition, some states, third-party
  payers and other regulators require proficiency testing to be performed, even for
  CLIA-waived procedures. MLE offers economical waived order options designed for
  the needs of the waived testing laboratory.

      E-notification Service
      A value-added service to enhance the quality and safety of patient care. The e-mail notification ser-
      vice will provide Class I and Class II recall information and field corrections pertaining to waived test
      devices. Class I recalls are those that have a “probable risk of harm or death” to a patient if the items
      remain in use. Class II recalls have a “significant risk of harm” to a patient if they remain in use.

      In addition to the recall e-notification service, MLE provides:

               • Notification of changes or additions to the CMS list of waived laboratory tests.
               • A wide array of cost-saving Waived Testing Modules for continued quality
                 assurance at a lower cost.
               • A reminder prompt for notifications involving Microbiology tests, to ensure
                 regulatory compliance for any remaining non-waived analytes.

      To receive “E-Notify on Waived Tests” and the “Recalls and Field Corrections: Devices—Class I and
      Class II” report, send an e-mail to mle@acponline.org and request to be added to the recipient list.
      In the e-mail request, be sure to include your MLE ID number.
