Accreditations

The IU Health Pathology Laboratory adheres to the highest level of standards in quality and service in laboratory testing and anatomic pathology.

We help to ensure this by participation in a number of accrediting agencies, our quality assurance and proficiency testing programs and our corporate compliance policies.

Certificates & Accreditations

CAP Certificates

Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Certificates

As part of the accreditation process and to ensure proficiency in performing laboratory analyses, Proficiency Testing (PT) is required. Our department primarily utilizes the CAP PT Program and the American Association of Bioanalysts (AAB). For analytes not covered under a PT Program, validation studies and twice yearly in-house PT are performed.

Policies & Procedures

Each of the following client compliance bulletins was created to educate clients about a specific laboratory policy designed to ensure that we are in compliance with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Health and Human Services (HHS) rules and regulations pertaining to the reimbursement of laboratory services.
