The fees for CLIA certification are administered and managed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS.) The Louisiana state agency does not have the authority to accept CLIA fees. DO NOT send CLIA fees to the Louisiana State Agency.
DO NOT submit fees with an initial application. Until the initial CLIA application is processed, there are no fees due. Once the initial application has been processed, CMS will send a fee coupon to the laboratory with the specific amount owed. The CLIA fees will be based on the type of certificate.
CMS now has the capability of accepting electronic payment or credit card transactions. To submit physical payment, you must follow the instructions provided on the fee coupon and submit a check made to CLIA LABORATORY PROGRAM. Write the CLIA Identification Number on the check and mail to:
