Our DME Facility Checklist outlines all of the requirements in order for your space to be approved by the accreditation agency and Medicare. Securing a compliant physical business address is a crucial step in the accreditation process when starting your DME business. There are a handful of requirements that must be met such as minimum size, but one of the main one’s is that it must be a true, physical address. It can NOT be a Regus type office. Here are the requirements:
