Urgent CLIA Update: Paper Fee Coupons and CLIA Certificates Ending March 1, 2026
Million Hearts Model (Innovative health care for every heart)Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)

Welcome to the CMS CLIA Communications Update!

 

This is your last chance to go paperless before we eliminate paper fee coupons and CLIA Certificates on March 1, 2026. In addition, laboratories must pay their CLIA certification and survey fees online (checks will no longer be accepted). Failure to go paperless may result in billing or certification issues.

When you switch to paperless, your laboratory will get:
Email notifications from CMS
Electronic fee coupons*
Electronic CLIA certificate - no more waiting for it to come in the mail*
   *This does not apply to CLIA-exempt states or state licensure.

To switch, you must either:
Email your State Agency
   Tip: Include your laboratory name, laboratory director or owner’s name, CLIA number, director or designee’s signature to help your State Agency make the switch.

Contact your Accreditation Organization (for accredited labs).
   They can add or update email addresses for the laboratories they survey.

Reach out to your State Agency or Accreditation Organization for assistance. For more details, visit Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA).

If you’ve already made the switch to paperless, we thank you. No further action is required.
