CLIA Certification Types and Specialty and Subspecialty Codes

Date: April 30, 2026

Attention: Providers

Call to action: Texas Children’s Health Plan (TCHP) would like to provide clarity for the CLIA Certification Types and Specialty and Subspecialty Codes.

Source:

CLIA Certification Types are the following:

  1. Regular Certificate of Compliance (COC)
  2. Waiver Certificate of Waiver
  3. Accreditation Certificate of Accreditation (COA)
  4. Provider-Performed Microscopy Procedure (PPMP)
  5. Registration Certificate of Registration (COR)

TCHP’s claim system is equipped to link the type of CLIA certification and billable procedure codes to determine how the procedures will process, depending on CLIA waived status and the provider’s CLIA certification type.

Type of CLIA Certification Billable Procedure Codes

Type of CLIA CertificationBillable Procedure Codes
Full/Accredited CertificationMay bill any laboratory procedure, regardless of modifier that is required for other certification types
Waived CertificationMay only bill CLIA-waived procedures (e.g., codes that do not require the QW modifier to be designated as CLIA waived tests, and procedures with the QW modifier)
PPMP (Partial) CertificationMay only bill for Provider-Performed Microscopy Procedures, CLIA-waived procedures (e.g., codes that do not require the QW modifier to be designated as CLIA waived tests, and procedures with the QW modifier)
No CLIA Certification on fileMay only bill procedures for which a CLIA certificate is not required
