Proud Partners of the Accreditation Commission for Healthcare Since 2023
DME Accreditation is simplified with ACHC Accreditation through QPI Healthcare Services, a proud partner of the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) since 2023. In alignment with our mission to streamline accreditation and compliance for healthcare providers, we have embedded ACHC standards directly into our proprietary Lavear H.A.R.P. Light Technology platform.
Through a comprehensive policy and procedure crosswalk, QPI has mapped all applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations to the current ACHC DMEPOS accreditation standards. This ensures that our clients maintain continuous survey readiness, eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of deficiencies during inspections.
Whether you’re preparing for initial accreditation or maintaining ongoing compliance, QPI and Lavear provide the tools, structure, and support to keep your organization aligned with ACHC expectations—every day, not just during survey windows.

Common Filing Mistakes
-
Missed Sections
Omitting required fields—especially those related to surety bonds or practice location—can trigger immediate rejections. -
Inconsistent Ownership Disclosures
Discrepancies in EINs, business structures, or managing control statements may raise fraud red flags with CMS reviewers. -
Expired Supporting Docs
Including outdated state licenses, insurance coverage, or bond certificates can delay approvals by weeks. -
Incorrect Product Codes
Selecting the wrong HCPCS product categories may result in limited billing access—or denial of certain DME claims altogether.
