Advocacy
AADA offers assistance for CLIA lab director application issues
The AADA continues discussions with CMS advocating for revisions to recent CLIA laboratory director requirements. Based on AADA advocacy, we advise our members to continue applying as appropriate to provide high-quality care to their patients.
If you encounter any issues, contact AADA at regulatory@aad.org. The Academy will coordinate directly with CMS to help ensure your application receives appropriate review and to assist in resolving any issues.
