Question:
Do we need to apply for a separate CLIA number for each physical location of a street address when providing the services defined by CPT® codes 78110–78130 at multiple locations?
Answer:
When providing the services defined by CPT codes 78110–78130 at multiple locations, it is necessary to apply for a separate CLIA number for each physical location of the street address and under the direction of the hospital’s primary library. The exception to this requirement is a hospital setting where laboratories are located in different buildings on the same campus within the same physical location of the street address and under the direction of the hospital’s primary laboratory.
