CLIA for medical abbreviation means "Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act".
CLIA means Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments.
IN 1988
36415 is the code for the venipuncture; it does not describe a particular test, so it is not regulated by CLIA.
The purpose of CLIA is to set minimum standards for all laboratories to follow and to determine if laboratories are achieving those standards.
CAP
There is no specific count available for the number of laboratories in the US that are not CLIA certified. However, it is estimated that a small percentage of laboratories may operate without CLIA certification, which is required by federal law to ensure quality and accuracy in diagnostic testing.

CLIA waived tests are simple laboratory tests categorized as low-risk for incorrect results. They are considered easy to perform with minimal chances of errors when conducted correctly, and therefore do not require stringent laboratory personnel qualifications or extensive quality control measures under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations in the United States.
A test that is not a CLIA waived test typically involves more complex procedures, higher risks, or requires more specialized training to perform accurately. For example, tests such as high-complexity molecular diagnostic tests, including certain genetic tests, or tests that require significant interpretation by a trained professional, are not CLIA waived. These tests usually fall under the categories of moderate or high complexity under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations.
