Massachusetts H2439 mandates clinical laboratory tests be performed by labs participating in approved proficiency testing programs.

Massachusetts H2439 amends the General Laws to require clinical laboratory tests to be conducted by laboratories that participate in proficiency testing programs approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This applies to tests regardless of their complexity, as defined under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988. The bill ensures that the person from whose body the specimen was derived can request the test results.
