What is the name of the regulations, which were passed in 1988, to ensure quality standards for all laboratory testing?
Explanation
Answer: B - The name of the regulations, which were passed in 1988, to ensure quality standards for all laboratory testing, are the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). These tests fall into three categories: waived tests, tests of moderate complexity, and tests of high complexity. Any lab or clinic providing any of the three types of tests must have a CLIA number. In addition, the bills for the laboratory tests must include the CLIA number of the provider completing the test.
