DMEPOS Retailer Certification
There is a potential gap in quality for
retailers that are not billing Medicare and
so are not required to attain CMS-approved
DMEPOS accreditation. From the retailer
perspective, this certification program helps
standardize quality processes and services
at a DMEPOS organization, ensuring safety
for a provider’s customers. From the customer’s
perspective, the certification enables
them to make better choices when buying
online or in the provider’s store. They see
the Exemplary Provider Certification logo on
a provider’s website or in their store window
and feel secure that a provider’s processes
have been certified by a nationally recognized
third party.

accreditation in that certification covers only
those aspects of the business that are directly
related to intake and delivery. Cerification is
