The Oregon Laboratory Compliance Section contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to carry out the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) in Oregon. Clinical laboratory regulations ensure laboratories follow state and federal regulations for clinical laboratory testing performed on human specimens, as well as non-medical (employment) substance of abuse testing, and health screening or health fair testing.
General Announcements
This website is for clinical laboratories located in the State of Oregon.
For service on CLIA certificates outside the State of Oregon, please contact the
CLIA State Agency where your laboratory is located, including for payment information. CMS CLIA is based in Baltimore, Maryland.
On March 1, 2026 The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) switched to electronic fee coupons and CLIA certificates. Any CLIA certified laboratory in the State of Oregon who has not already enrolled in electronic delivery of fee coupons and certificates should send an email to
lc.info@odhsoha.oregon.gov requesting to be enrolled and include their CLIA ID number and laboratory name. Additionally, all CLIA certification and survey fees must be paid
online (payments by paper check are no longer accepted).
