Maintain DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation
To maintain your DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation status, keep these tips in mind:
- DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation is issued for a 3-year term.
- NABP requires an annual compliance review during years 2 and 3 of the accreditation process.
- Prior to your accreditation anniversary date, we will contact you to begin the annual compliance review and will provide guidelines to help you with the process.
- The annual compliance review includes an online renewal application submission, providing supporting documents confirming compliance to the standards, and payment for the participation fees.
- Prior to the end of the 3-year accreditation, you will need to start the reaccreditation process, noted below.
Reaccreditation
DMEPOS pharmacies must begin the reaccreditation process before their current accreditation expires. Unless you have received a pharmacy accreditation exemption confirmation. We encourage pharmacies to seek reaccreditation for a new, 3-year period during the third year of your DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation.
Prior to your accreditation anniversary date (expiration date of your current 3-year accreditation), we will contact you to begin the reaccreditation process and will provide guidelines to help you with the process.
The reaccreditation process is similar to the initial DMEPOS Pharmacy Accreditation steps:
- Confirm your eligibility.
- Review the Standards Overview.
- Gather the appropriate supporting documents.
- Submit the reaccreditation application for one or multiple accreditations with your business e-Profile account.
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.
