The Value of EDX Lab Accreditation
FELA lab accreditation was formed to recognize electrodiagnostic laboratories that meet the highest levels of quality, patient safety and follow accepted practice standards in electrodiagnostic testing. EDX laboratory accreditation is voluntary, and laboratories that become accredited demonstrate to the public, referral sources and payors that the electrodiagnostic studies are performed with the highest standards and with patient safety in mind. Additionally, laboratory accreditation demonstrates to trainees (students and residents) that the laboratory provides the highest level of electrodiagnostic training.
Why Should Payors Consider EDX Laboratory Accreditation?
FELA lab accreditation provides private and public payers a tool to identify quality electrodiagnostic providers and studies, and to assure payments are made to providers trained to perform quality EDX studies, that use appropriate equipment and techniques, and to provide real-time diagnosis. Collectively, this ensures safe, quality and cost-effective services and helps payors avoid paying for fraudulent services.
