Starting January 1, 2006, it’s important to submit your re-survey application on time because failing to do so could affect your laboratory’s accreditation status. Here’s what you need to know to calculate the due date correctly:
- For labs affiliated with another accredited program, the due date is one year prior to when the lab is due for survey and is the same month as the primary program’s due date. For example, if the lab is due for survey in September 2007 and the hospital is due for survey in March 2008, the lab application is due no later than March 31, 2006.
- For freestanding labs, the application is due one year before the survey is due. For example, if the lab is due for survey in July 2008, the application is due no later than July 31, 2007.
