The fee increase only applies to those costs associated with the federal government's general administrative program costs and not those associated with inspections charged by the states or private accrediting bodies. Our organizations find it troubling that physicians are asked to accept the Health Care Financing Administration's (HCFA) costs and resulting user fees without knowing whether those costs have been Subjected to a rigorous review and accounting by an objective outside audit.","Title":"Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) of 1988.
