Renal Dialysis Accreditation Services
Services
In-Center Dialysis facilities are entities that provide outpatient maintenance dialysis service in an in-center/facility setting for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). ACHC’s Accreditation Standards were developed specifically for Medicare Certified facilities performing in-center care. Our standards assist providers with the knowledge to succeed in meeting the Medicare Conditions for Coverage (CfCs) and equip your facility with the opportunity to better provide safe, compliant, and quality patient care.
Home Dialysis Support entities are those that provide home dialysis training and support services for patients being treated for End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), as well as training and support services to their care partner. ACHC’s Accreditation Standards were developed specifically for Medicare Certified home dialysis training and support programs. Our standards assist providers with the knowledge to succeed in meeting the Medicare Conditions for Coverage (CfCs) and equip your home-based program with the opportunity to better provide safe, compliant, and quality patient care.
