Cholesterol Testing Sites

Description

Cholesterol testing that is performed solely for the purposes of screening for certain medical conditions and is not to be used for diagnostic or management of healthcare conditions may be performed at a temporary or mobile laboratory, such as a health fair in a shopping mall.  A person holding a license to operate a laboratory in the discipline of chemistry or health awareness testing is not required to obtain a separate cholesterol testing permit to conduct cholesterol testing at a temporary laboratory site if the licensee complies with the requirements applicable to a temporary laboratory as set forth in this subtitle.  See Health Awareness Testing Sites​ to learn how to obtain a permit.
