SB 861 - This act requires noninvasive vascular laboratories to be certified by either the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL) or the American College of Radiology (ACR) by July 1, 2011. If a noninvasive vascular laboratory does not provide documentation confirming its accreditation with ICAVL or ACR by October 1, 2011, to the Department of Health and Senior services, the bill prohibits the lab from billing, charging or receiving compensation for any services. This prohibition also results if the lab loses its accreditation. The act also provides the Department of Health and Senior Services with rulemaking authority to implement the accreditation requirement. ADRIANE CROUSE
