Apply for DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation

CMS published a final rule that details updates to DMEPOS Accreditation, effective January 1, 2026. We’d like to reassure our existing DMEPOS accredited suppliers that the annual resurvey and reaccreditation cycle will not begin until the expiration of the supplier’s current three-year accreditation cycle if issued prior to the final rule effective date.

How to Get Started

The first step in the process is to confirm that the program meets your pharmacy’s needs and that your pharmacy can demonstrate compliance with the NABP DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation eligibility requirements and standards.

After you submit the application, supplemental documentation, and fees, we will:

Review your Policies & Procedures (P&Ps) and supplemental documents

Verify pharmacy and pharmacist licensure

Conduct an unannounced on-site survey

Apply for Accreditation

1

Confirm your eligibility.

Maintain DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation

To maintain your DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation status, keep these tips in mind:

1

DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation is issued for a 1- year term starting January 1, 2026.

Please note: Per CMS, A DMEPOS supplier’s annual resurvey and reaccreditation cycle will not begin until the expiration of the supplier’s current reaccreditation 3-year cycle (if issued prior to the final rule effective date).
2

Prior to the end of the accreditation date, the pharmacy will need to start the reaccreditation process, noted below.

Reaccreditation

The reaccreditation process is similar to the initial DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation steps:

1

Confirm your eligibility.
2

Review the Standards Overview.
3

Gather the appropriate supporting documents.
4

Submit the reaccreditation application for one or multiple accreditations with your business e-Profile account.

DMEPOS pharmacies should begin the reaccreditation process before their current accreditation expires. The accredited supplier must be resurveyed before the last survey.

Prior to your accreditation anniversary date (expiration date of your current accreditation), we will contact you to begin the reaccreditation process and will provide guidelines to help you with the process.

What Our DMEPOS Customers Say

“We’ve pursued NABP reaccreditation every three years since 2009. It’s a lot of hard work, but I’ve learned a lot in the process and I’m proud of our pharmacy team’s dedication and commitment to remaining compliant with the DMEPOS Accreditation standards and best practices.”

A Note About Canceled Accreditations Due to Non-Payment: If accreditation is canceled because annual participation fees or reaccreditation fees are not paid, the Enrollment Contractor may revoke the Medicare billing number.
