How to Become Accredited and Maintain Accreditation Through QUAD A's Medicare Approved Outpatient Program
This program assesses the quality of therapeutic care in physical therapy and speech pathology based on the Medicare requirements. These clinics also may offer occupational therapy.
Which clinics may apply for QUAD A/Medicare accreditation?
Clinics already Medicare certified as well as those seeking initial Medicare certification may apply for QUAD A accreditation. Applicants must be licensed in the state in which they are located (if that state requires licensure) to be eligible.
Will the state still need to inspect a clinic if it has earned QUAD A/Medicare accreditation?
In most cases, the state will not review a clinic that has been accredited through the QUAD A/Medicare survey but it does not preclude the state from conducting validation or complaint surveys. State licensure surveys are separate from Medicare surveys and conducted according to state requirements. State licensure surveys may be inclusive of physical environment requirements that exceed any specified by CMS.
