• CLIA Changes Effective January 2025 (May 01, 2024)
  On July 11, 2022, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published final rule CMS-3355-F. This rule added new regulated analytes to CLIA, revised grading criteria for some current analytes, and made other small changes affecting PT enrollment and grading.

• Introducing Competency Programs (May 01, 2024)
  One of the top citations that laboratories receive during an inspection is the lack of competency assessment documentation. API can help laboratories meet this requirement. Our new Competency Programs provide tools to assist with evaluating and documenting the competency of testing personnel. These tools can be utilized in conjunction with the laboratory’s established standards to meet the required elements of competency.
