COLA is engaged with the CDC’s Laboratory Outreach Communication System (LOCS) in the Division of Laboratory Systems (DLS) to transmit their public health messages to our laboratories and affiliates. Below is a link to the most recent messages about guidance for LOINC In-Vitro Diagnostic (LIVD) code selection for laboratories using Laboratory-Developed Tests.
For laboratories and testing sites that are using a Laboratory-Developed Test (LDT) that has not received a U.S. Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), refer to these tips and links when selecting codes to report test results to public health agencies.
