    IQCP

    This document provides a decision tree to determine eligibility for an Individualized Quality Control Plan (IQCP) option to reduce the frequency of daily external quality control testing. It outlines a series of questions to ask, including whether the state allows IQCP, the complexity of the test, whether it falls under specific CMS specialties, whether it has internal controls, and whether manufacturer instructions allow for less frequent external controls. If all criteria are met, the lab is eligible to follow an IQCP checklist to potentially reduce external quality control frequency. Otherwise, default CLIA and CAP requirements must be followed.
