Compliance and Accreditation

Genova Diagnostics is committed to meeting the highest professional standards in the clinical laboratory industry. Extensive certifications require the lab to adopt stringent Quality Assurance protocols, undergo periodic split sample testing, and stand physical examination on a regular basis.

Medicare

Genova Diagnostics fully supports federal regulations to enforce financial and professional integrity and to ensure that tests ordered under federal or state reimbursement meet the standards of "medical necessity."

All claims submitted to Medicare/Medicaid for Genova Diagnostics laboratory services must be for tests that are medically necessary. "Medically necessary" is defined as a test or procedure that is reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member. Consequently, tests performed for screening purposes will not be reimbursed by the Medicare program. Physicians may deem it medically necessary to order a single test or a portion of a profile.
