Why ACHC Accreditation Is Mandatory for Medicare Billing
If you’re a DMEPOS supplier applying for Medicare billing privileges, you must be accredited by a CMS-approved body. ACHC (Accreditation Commission for Health Care) is one of the most widely accepted accreditors—but their survey process demands complete and audit-ready documentation, including policies, safety protocols, training, and quality monitoring.
Many suppliers fail because they try to build their accreditation file without guidance—or worse, pull generic policies that don’t match how their business actually operates. We provide the structure, tools, and real-time support to help you meet every requirement confidently.

Where Most ACHC Survey Prep Fails—and How We Help You Avoid It
Most ACHC survey prep fails due to missing records, policy errors, or expired credentials. We help you stay organized with real-time tracking, policy updates, and compliance oversight to pass surveys with confidence.
Common Failures in ACHC Surveys
-
Outdated or Incomplete Policies
ACHC surveyors expect your policies to reflect current operations and Medicare-specific documentation protocols. -
Missing Staff Training Records
Without logs for infection control, HIPAA, or orientation, you risk conditional accreditation or delays. -
No Internal Quality Monitoring
ACHC requires documented efforts to improve service quality, including QI plans and incident tracking. -
Unprepared Physical Environment
Facility safety checks, signage, and recordkeeping must match ACHC standards—not just local health codes.
