About CLIA Templates

CLIA Templates is a small independent publisher based in Ohio. We make document templates for laboratories that test under a CLIA certificate: policies, forms, logs and trackers, in Word, Excel and fillable PDF.

We are not a consulting firm, a law firm or an accreditation organization, and we are not affiliated with CMS, CDC, CAP, COLA or The Joint Commission.

How the documents are written

  • From the regulation text. Each document is drafted against the current text of 42 CFR Part 493 on eCFR, and against CMS guidance where CMS has explained how a requirement works.
  • Cited to the paragraph. Every document ends with the sections it rests on, so a director or reviewer can check it against the source.
  • Plain about limits. Each kit page lists what the kit does not do. Where a requirement depends on your own instruments, test menu or state, the document leaves a marked blank for it.

How they are kept current

Once a month we compare the regulation text with the text the kits were written against, and read new final rules and CMS guidance. Every check and every change is recorded in the public verification log. Each file carries its version number and the date it was last checked. Rule changes that are proposed but not final are tracked on the updates page and do not change the kits until they take effect.

What we do not do

  • We do not give regulatory or legal advice, and buying a kit does not create a consulting relationship.
  • We do not promise a survey result. Surveyors assess your practice and records, not your templates.
  • We do not cover state law or accreditation checklists, which can be stricter than CLIA.
  • We do not publish reviews or testimonials we cannot verify.

Corrections

If you find an error in a document or on this site, email support@cliatemplates.com with the document number and the citation. Confirmed corrections are fixed, versioned and listed in the verification log, and buyers can download the revised file.
