What testing sites miss in Alaska
- The Alaska Department of Health page tells labs to email the CMS-116 to hss.dph.lab.clia@alaska.gov, while CMS lists CLIA-HSSLab@alaska.gov. Confirm the current address before sending.
Does Alaska require a state lab license on top of CLIA?
The Alaska Department of Health's laboratory page describes only the federal CLIA certificate: apply on the CMS-116, send it to the Alaska CLIA office, pay the CMS fee and post the certificate. No separate state laboratory license is described.
- Does not reach waived-only labs
What does Alaska charge?
No state laboratory fee; the lab pays only the CMS certificate fee.
Do labs in other states need a Alaska license to test its specimens?
No state laboratory license was found, so a lab in another state needs nothing from this state to test its specimens beyond its own CLIA certificate.
Where does a Alaska CMS-116 go?
