Specialty Pharmacy without DMEPOS (SRX Only) Accreditation Now Available
Cary, NC (PRWEB) November 29, 2016 -- Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) is pleased to announce the launch of a new service to meet your accreditation needs. SRX Only is a new option that allows for specialty pharmacy without Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) accreditation.
If a specialty pharmacy DOES NOT supply and/or bill Medicare patients for DMEPOS products as described by Medicare Part B coverage guidelines, the accreditation survey date can be announced. The announced survey is a unique departure from standard ACHC survey protocols, which was explored by ACHC due to requests from specialty pharmacy providers.
“There has been a shift for many specialty pharmacies away from supplying Medicare Part B equipment and supplies,” said Tim Safley, Director DMEPOS, Pharmacy, and Sleep. “ACHC recognized a need in the industry for specialty pharmacy without DMEPOS accreditation and we are pleased to offer another customer-focused accreditation solution.”
Since the introduction of the our Pharmacy Accreditation program in 1996 and as the first accrediting body to offer accreditation in specialty pharmacy, ACHC has grown to become a leading national accreditation organization with more than 900 pharmacies accredited in the U.S. On the heels of our recently-launched Distinction in Oncology, this new SRX Only accreditation is the latest addition to a comprehensive suite of pharmacy accreditation services including Ambulatory Infusion Center, Community Retail, Infusion, Long Term Care, Sterile and Non-Sterile Pharmacy Compounding (PCAB), and ACHC Inspection Services. ACHC’s pharmacy services are aimed at helping growth-oriented pharmacies access a broader patient population by demonstrating their compliance with the industry’s most relevant standards across a wide range of service areas.
