(3) The laboratory has a poor compliance history. This CONDITION is not met as evidenced by: Based on a review of the CASPER Report 155 and performance evaluations from the proficiency testing organization American Proficiency Institute (API), the laboratory failed to successfully participate in a proficiency testing program approved by CMS for the analyte: D(RHO) which is of the specialty Immunohematology.
