CLIA Information

The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988 applies to facilities or sites that test human specimens for health assessment or to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease. The CLIA Program sets standards for clinical laboratory testing and issues certificates. The NPI / CLIA crosswalk information for this NPI number is:

CLIA Number: 34D0881512
Facility Type: Home Health Agency
Certificate Effective Date: January 11, 2024
Certificate Expiration Date: January 10, 2026
Laboratory Director: ELIZABETH VAUSE
Certificate Type: Certificate of Waiver
Certificate Type Description: This CLIA certificate is issued to Liberty Home Care, Llc to perform only waived tests. CLIA defines waived tests as simple tests with a low risk for an incorrect result. Waived tests include certain tests listed in CLIA regulations, tests cleared by the FDA for home use and tests approved by the FDA for waived status and that meet CLIA waiver criteria.

NPI Validation Check Digit Calculation

The following table explains the step by step NPI number validation process using the ISO standard Luhn algorithm.

Start with the original NPI number, the last digit is the check digit and is not used in the calculation.
1	7	0	0	9	5	6	7	5	2
Step 1: Double the value of the alternate digits, beginning with the rightmost digit.
2	7	0	0	18	5	12	7	10
Step 2: Add all the doubled and unaffected individual digits from step 1 plus the constant number 24.
2 + 7 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 8 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 7 + 1 + 0 + 24 = 58
Step 3: Subtract the total obtained in step 2 from the next higher number ending in zero, the result is the check digit.
60 - 58 = 2									2

The NPI number 1700956752 is valid because the calculated check digit 2 using the Luhn validation algorithm matches the last digit of the original NPI number.
