NASI DMEPOS Accreditation Program
DMEPOS Accreditation
Did You Know Many National Pharmacists’ Associations and Buying Groups Encourage Independent Pharmacy Owners to be DMEPOS Accredited?
In other words, your pharmacy needs NASI!
In 2019 a number of healthcare insurers, HMOs, third party plans, hospice programs, long term care facilities, as well as Medicare and Medicaid programs will still be requiring DME suppliers to be accredited. As a result of these requirements, PRS provides the needed solution through our NASI DMEPOS Accreditation Program.
Even if you qualify for exemption from CMS, that does not exempt you from other payers’ requirements. Therefore, in order to bill Medicare, you may still need to meet the CMS Supplier Standards. DMEPOS accreditation through NASI, a PRS Affiliate, keeps you compliant, and as a result, allows you to breeze through a Medicare audit thereby increasing the likelihood you’ll receive reimbursement for the claims you submit. Don’t take chances with your reimbursements!
NASI has guided over 5,000 pharmacies through the accreditation process nearly half of all accredited independents.
Don't Just Take Our Word For It
As a NASI and HIPAA member, the manual was very easy to follow. It contained everything we needed for accreditation, as well as improving our business practices. Our specialist was great to work with. She treated every question with utmost importance. I am very happy with this entire process and I continue using PRS.

I have been with the PRS Family since 2009 as a NASI accreditation customer. The program is very detailed and I received my accreditation in a timely manner, with the assistance of my Accreditation Specialist, Ann. So, in 2013 when I needed to update my HIPAA Program, PRS was automatically my first choice, and again I have not been disappointed with the attention to detail of the program.

What Other NASI Clients Are Saying
I'd like to compliment one of your employees, Cindy Smithhammer, for the excellent service she provided me for my accreditation. Cindy helped me get my accreditation processed after I discovered that there had been a late filing with ABC. It was on the verge of cancelling and we needed to be credentialed by Aetna. I have always been pleased with the service I receive from your company but, Ms. Smithhammer's professionalism and ability to get to the bottom of the situation quickly, exceeded my expectations. She accelerated the process of having my location visited for accreditation. I commend their commitment to great customer service. You can be sure that I will continue to do business with NASI for years to come.

I have been a PRS/NASI facility since 2008. I am very happy with both the accreditation services through NASI and the HIPAATrack program I purchased through PRS in 2013.
