The organisation runs the "Exemplary Provider" accreditation programs and represents a US-based option to the Joint Commission. In 2006, The Compliance Team was formally granted national deeming authority by the federal government's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as an accrediting body for all type of Durable Medical Equipment (Respiratory, Mobility, Woundcare, Orthopedic), Prosthetics, Orthotics, Supplies e.g. Diabetic, Ostomy, Incontinence, (DMEPOS) providers including Pharmacy, Homecare, Podiatrists and Orthopedic Surgeons.
The Compliance Team has accredited approximately 160 DME providers in the USA. It has been reported that demand for participation in their Exemplary Provider Program has significantly increased since being awarded Medicare deeming status. [2]
