Medicare accreditation
goes much deeper than simply
being able to bill Medicare as a DMEPOS
supplier. Accreditation has considerable
strategic value for HME providers when
it comes to differentiating themselves
in their marketplace, uncovering new
opportunities, and demonstrating their
expertise to referral partners.
Matt Gruskin, the chief operating
officer of The Board of Certification/Accreditation (BOC), met with HMEB
to discuss how providers can make
the most of their accreditation and
what they should expect from their
accrediting organization. Moreover,
he discusses key tools that can help
them identify new care opportunities
that they can serve with expanded
expertise.
