Government Entity (GE) 2018 Audit

On August 1, 2018, the Food and Drug Administration will begin its Governmental Entity (GE) audit of certified mammography facilities who claim this exemption under the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). The Act requires that mammography facilities submit an annual self-certification form (Form FDA 3422) to have the annual mammography inspection fee waived.

To verify these claims, FDA has randomly selected a sample of 102 mammography facilities currently claiming GE status, between the dates of October 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017, to participate in this audit. FDA will contact these facilities to advise them of the steps they need to take to verify their GE exemption status.
