NABP’s DMEPOS accreditation program supports the Association’s mission to assist its member boards of pharmacy in protecting public health. The program standards through which the accreditation process is managed are essential for meeting this mission. The standards include the validation and assessment of several key areas including:

• Facility and key personnel licensure
• Organizational and administrative structure
• Fiscal and human resources management
• Product safety
• Information management
• Intake and assessment/delivery and set-up
• Beneficiary and/or caregiver services and follow-up

NABP ensures that DMEPOS suppliers meet these program standards by performing:

• A thorough review of documentary evidence such as policies and procedures, forms, and financial information
• Unannounced site visits to verify both submitted documentation and actual business practices as demonstrated through record and file reviews
   

CMS Quality Standards

To participate in the Medicare DMEPOS competitive bidding program, suppliers must meet CMS quality standards (PDF), be accredited by a CMS-approved accreditation organization, meet licensing requirements, and, if applicable, get bonded.
