Description: When auditing, we often encounter the QW modifier for CLIA waived services, but do we know what this actually means, and how it is accurately appended? In medical billing, CLIA waived due to impacts reimbursement, and certification identifies whether these facilities meet federal standards for quality and accuracy in laboratory testing. Understanding CLIA exceeds merely knowing which tests are waived but also understanding what is required for the process to ensure the organization meets the standards.
