The Phillips County Hospital's Laboratory Department earned a "Zero-Deficiency" certification last week during a State Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) survey. This survey evaluates compliance with established quality standards for all laboratory testing; including the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of patient test results.



The CLIA survey compliance requirements consist of being familiar with all regulatory requirements; ensuring that all positions in the laboratory are filled by qualified personnel; establishing and maintaining a written policy, process, and procedure manual; and participate in a proficiency testing program appropriate for the test menu. The survey also checks to make sure instrument calibration, maintenance, and quality controls are performed as required; instrument performance specifications have been verified; the security of the laboratory information system (LIS) is verified and that all required documentation is maintained in accordance with CLIA requirements.


"I am very proud of our Laboratory staff, who strive to provide high-quality and compassionate service every day and who truly care about the patients that they serve. This survey result is evidence of the excellent work that they do on a regular basis," said Becky Levin, Laboratory Manager.

Transparency in Coverage Rule

Phillips County Health Systems complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws. Phillips County Health Systems does not discriminate, exclude, or treat individuals differently on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

The Department of Health and Human Services’, Transparency in Coverage Rule, requires health plans to create a member-facing price comparison tool and post publicly available machine-readable files. These files must be updated monthly and include in-network negotiated payment rates and historical out-of-network charges for covered items and services, including prescription drugs.  The purpose of this Rule is to help you know the cost of your healthcare before receiving the care. 

No one will be denied access to service due to the inability to pay. All applications for sliding fee schedules and discounts will be accepted. Eligibility is determined by family size and income.
