CMS Pub. 100-02, ch. 8, § 70.1
Diagnostic Services and Radiological Therapy
A3-3137.1, SNF-260.1
Diagnostic x-ray and radiological therapy may be provided directly by a SNF if, as part
of its compliance with the conditions of participation, the SNF has a radiological
department, which meets the same standards required of a hospital furnishing such
services under the program, or if the SNF meets the portable x-ray supplier standards.
Portable x-ray services provided by a SNF under arrangements are covered only if
furnished by an approved supplier. When a SNF furnishes laboratory services directly, it
must have a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) number or a CLIA certificate
of waiver. SNFs may bill for laboratory services rendered under arrangement for tests
NOT on the CLIA waived list.
