It’s important for independent pharmacy owners to be DMEPOS accredited to ensure they can maintain their share of the ever-increasing DME market.
Many healthcare insurers–HMOs, third party plans, hospice programs, long term care facilities, as well as Medicare and Medicaid programs–require DME suppliers to be accredited.
Even if you qualify for exemption from CMS, that doesn’t exempt you from other payers’ requirements. Plus, in order to bill Medicare, you still need to meet the CMS Supplier Standards.
