Board of Certification/Accreditation (BOC)
Credential Program
Credential program aims to help DME/HME professionals boost their career
Offered by BOC for DME/HME providers
and medical equipment professionals,
this credential demonstrates an industry
professional’s knowledge and expertise
in the DME/HME field, from prescription
verification to billing and documentation.
Seasoned DME professionals who meet the
prerequisites can apply and take the exam
right away. An optional “Intro to the CDME”

Virtual Site Surveys
Virtual Site Surveys help ensure DMEPOS accreditation renewal
BOC Virtual Site Surveys
leverage technology to enable
facility owners to comply with
CMS requirements when an in-person visit is not possible, like the
present situation due to the pandemic. Virtual Site Surveys take
place in real-time, replicating standard procedures. An independent
surveyor coordinates an online ‘meeting’ to conduct a virtual
tour of the facility. If BOC awards accreditation, an additional
in-person site visit will follow as soon as it is safe and possible. BOC
virtual surveys also are eligible for BOC’s expedited service, which
guarantees a visit from a surveyor within 10 business days.

Accreditation and certification services for HME providers
Board of Certification/Accreditation (BOC) will showcase its certification and accreditation for the DME and HME industry. The difference between the two? Certification is an assurance to patients of professional competency, quality care and safety, while accreditation helps suppliers meet CMS billing standards and demonstrates sound business practices and compliance with all applicable laws. A key highlight at the booth will be BOC’s recent Certified DME Specialist (CDME) certification and DMEPOS accreditation.
