LENEXA, Kan. (October 2, 2015)—Mediware Information Systems, Inc. is hosting a free webinar for attendees on Tuesday, October 20, at 12:00 Central, 1:00 EST, to outline the truth behind Medicare principles and accreditation protocols. The webinar is entitled “The Blurred Lines Between Medicare and Accreditation.”

The National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC), the gatekeeper for billing relationships with Medicare, is conducting surprise on-site inspections of home medical equipment companies. The goal is to see if the participation rules, also known as supplier standards are being met. Accreditation organizations also review Medicare’s requirements but from a slightly different perspective called “quality standards.” How will these reviews affect your business?

Don’t miss this eye-opening presentation led by Vianna Zimbel, who has over 35 years of clinical expertise in healthcare. This presentation will help attendees gain an in-depth understanding of: how the Medicare NSC conducts on-site inspections, analyze the NSC supplier standards that are most problematic and possible outcomes for not meeting them, explain accreditation organization’s reporting relationship with Medicare, and identify accreditation standards that originate from Medicare.

Join Vianna Zimbel, president of Vianna Zimbel Consulting, as she discusses the standards for accreditation and how to be prepared for site visits.
