HME/DME EDUCATION AND COMPLIANCE PACKAGE

HME/DME EDUCATION AND COMPLIANCE PACKAGE

This important component of the HME/DME Accreditation Tool Kit allows you to provide education for all of your staff, and keep your managers current with relevant regulatory changes.

Don't get left behind! The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will begin to phase in requirements for DME's and HME's to be fully accredited and eligible for CMS reimbursement. Those organizations not meeting compliance standards may be disqualified for competitive bidding!
