- The role of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) in regulating IVDs and LDTs
- FDA regulations related to IVD tests used for Research Use Only (RUO) and Investigational Use Only (IUO)
- The role of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in laboratory processes associated with diagnostics tests
