About WaivedLab
WaivedLab is a document-preparation service for the CLIA Certificate of Waiver — the federal certificate a med spa, IV therapy clinic, or small practice needs before running waived point-of-care tests. We prepare the CMS-116 and the state-specific paperwork; you review and sign everything; we track the filing until your certificate arrives.
Who operates this site
WaivedLab is operated by Covo Franco Digital LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, and run by Amaury Covo, a logistics-company executive based in Cartagena, Colombia. We build and operate document-preparation services: businesses where the work is careful paperwork, clear checklists, and follow-through with government agencies — the same discipline logistics runs on.
What we do — and don't do
- We do: prepare the CMS-116 (or your state's equivalent in NY/WA), assemble the state overlay checklist, and follow the filing until the fee coupon and certificate arrive.
- You always: review and sign every form. The federal certificate fee (currently $248) and any state fees are paid by you directly to the agencies.
- We never: give legal, medical, or laboratory-director advice; decide your test menu; or promise approval. That is not modesty — it is the design of the service.
Experts for the expert questions
When a filing raises a question that needs real laboratory judgment — a test-menu decision, a waiver-to-moderate upgrade, anything a surveyor would scrutinize — we don't improvise. We route it to independent, credentialed laboratory consultants we partner with, and we tell you that is what we are doing. Administrative preparation is our job; laboratory science is theirs.
Sources, not claims
Every state guide on this site links to the official CMS and state-agency sources it was built from, and every page tells you to verify against them before acting. If you ever find something here that contradicts an official source, the official source wins — and we would like to know: hello@waivedlab.com.
