The AAAHC has held Deemed Status for ASCs since 1996. ASCs accredited after undergoing the AAAHC/Medicare Deemed Status survey demonstrate to CMS that their standards meet or exceed those mandated for participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs.
“We are pleased that CMS has again placed its confidence in AAAHC and in our dedication to patient satisfaction,” said John Burke, PhD, president and CEO of AAAHC. “As the nation’s largest accrediting body for ambulatory health care organizations, we welcome this opportunity to ensure ambulatory clinics are meeting or exceeding national standards for quality care.”
The AAAHC, founded in 1979, is a leader in ambulatory healthcare accreditation with more than 5,000 organizations accredited nationwide.
