Critical Access Hospitals
Emergency capability is reported, but overall rating is unavailable in this dataset. Prioritize direct questions on wait times, specialist access, and follow-up continuity.
Waived Test Volume Count
Tiered interpretation based on CMS reported annual waived-test volume.
Reported Waived Test Volume
2,622
Tier Code
W1
Low volume
The CMS-116 CLIA form defines this as the estimated annual waived-test volume. It describes reported testing activity, not overall hospital quality by itself.
Interpretation guidance (W1)
A smaller annual waived-test volume is reported.
This can indicate focused point-of-care testing rather than broad rapid-testing throughput. Verify which rapid tests are consistently available.
Bring recent core labs with you and confirm whether repeat rapid tests are routinely done onsite.
View CMS-116 source fieldLaboratory Accreditation Signals
Each field shows whether that accreditation is reported in CMS records, plus what it implies for patient-side verification.
A2LA Accreditation
Not ReportedA2LA is a CLIA-recognized lab accreditor; this flag shows if A2LA status is reported, which indicates whether that quality pathway is documented for this lab scope.
AABB Accreditation
Not ReportedAABB covers transfusion and biotherapies standards; this flag indicates whether AABB accreditation is reported, helping you verify blood-service governance.
CAP Accreditation
ReportedCAP is a major CLIA-recognized accreditor; a reported status usually means structured external quality oversight is present for covered disciplines.
COLA Accreditation
Not ReportedCOLA is a CLIA-recognized accreditation pathway; reported status suggests external compliance oversight is documented for the lab services in scope.
ASHI Accreditation
Not ReportedASHI relates to histocompatibility/immunogenetics standards; this flag shows if ASHI status is reported, useful when transplant-related testing is relevant.

Patient Checklist
Dynamic checklist version: W1
- Prepare a one-page case summary (diagnosis path, treatment changes, current concerns).
- Bring timeline evidence: key labs, imaging, medication history, and symptom changes.
- Call in advance to confirm referral requirements and accepted insurance pathway.
- Ask which waived tests are available onsite and which tests require send-out labs.
- Ask emergency intake flow: after-hours access, average wait window, and escalation path.
Patient FAQ
Condition-focused questions selected for this hospital page.
Does a higher waived-test tier always mean better care?
Not always. Higher tier suggests more testing throughput, but the best choice still depends on specialist access, care coordination, and your disease pathway.
What does waived test volume tier W1 indicate?
Tier W1 reflects the reported scale of waived testing activity, which helps you estimate rapid-test workflow intensity but does not equal overall hospital quality.
