CLIA waiver state checklist

CLIA Certificate of Waiver requirements in New York for med spas and clinics.

Use New York DOH/CLEP limited-service laboratory registration instead of assuming a federal-only path.

This page is an educational prep checklist. It does not confirm approval, legal compliance, or waived status for any specific device.

State overlay checklist

  • Initial Limited Service Laboratory Registration through NYS Wadsworth/CLEP.
  • Registrants may perform only tests listed on the issued registration certificate.
  • CMS specifically tells New York non-physician office lab applicants to contact NYS DOH for guidance.

Fee and timing note

Registration certificates are state-issued and usually tied to a two-year cycle; verify current NYS fee and processing expectations.
