DME Startups & Entrepreneurs: Launch Fast
Ready. Set. Go.
Launching—or relaunching—a durable medical equipment company is more than a business
venture; it’s a commitment to patients who depend on timely, reliable care. Whether you’re
opening your first location or preparing for an accreditation renewal, our consulting team is here
to smooth the path so you can focus on what matters most: serving people.
For more than twenty years, we’ve guided DME start-ups and established providers through
every stage of the accreditation journey:
- Gap Analysis & Road-Mapping – We benchmark your current policies, procedures, and documentation against CMS and accrediting-body standards, then deliver a clear action plan.
- Policy & Procedure Development – From infection control to patient education, we supply templates and customized guidance that satisfy surveyors and support daily operations.
- Mock Surveys & Staff Training – Our hands-on drills build staff confidence and uncover issues before auditors arrive.
- Post-Survey Support – If corrective actions are needed, we help you respond quickly and effectively.
Whether it’s your initial accreditation or a renewal, let us carry the regulatory load so you can
keep your eyes on patient care and growth. Our Accreditation Preparation Package starts at
$1,500* and scales with your organization’s size and complexity.
