The Independent Diagnostic Testing
Facilities (IDTF) - Site Investigation form was developed and
implemented to allow for CMS to have a standard format to collect
and verify information regarding the compliance of independent
diagnostic testing facilities (IDTFs) with the performance
standards found in 42 CFR ? 410.33(g). This previously approved
form was allowed to expire in error. CMS is now seeking
re-instatement of the use of this form.
