Why CHAP Accreditation Prep Is Essential for DMEPOS Suppliers
To enroll as a Medicare-approved DMEPOS supplier, you must obtain accreditation from a CMS-approved body. CHAP (Community Health Accreditation Partner) is a recognized accreditor that reviews every aspect of your operations—from documentation and staff files to physical environment and quality improvement.
Many suppliers assume their existing policies are enough. But CHAP expects documentation that matches your operations, not a generic policy set. We help you meet CHAP standards with clear checklists, editable documentation, and live survey prep support.

Editable, CHAP-aligned policies that cover patient rights, safety, infection control, HR practices, and CMS documentation rules.

Support for onboarding, annual training, and safety documentation—ready for CHAP review.
Onsite Environment Readiness
We help you meet CHAP requirements for facility safety, labeling, emergency preparedness, and signage.
Where DME Suppliers Fall Short in CHAP Surveys—and How We Help You Avoid It
Many DME suppliers miss CHAP survey standards due to weak documentation, policy lapses, or training gaps. We support you with proven practices that keep your organization prepared, compliant, and confident during every survey.
Typical Survey Deficiencies
-
Generic or Misaligned Policies
CHAP surveyors expect documentation that reflects your actual business—not templated forms with blank fields. -
Missing or Incomplete Logs
If training, patient complaints, equipment maintenance, or incident logs are missing, accreditation may be delayed. -
Insufficient Quality Improvement Records
CHAP requires evidence of ongoing QI initiatives—not just a written plan with no data. -
Unprepared Facility Environment
Facility compliance is often overlooked—storage practices, MSDS sheets, and emergency exits are all inspected.
