Welcome to Vianna Zimbel Consulting:

Start with a consulting firm with extensive experience, and that will consistently be there for you in the future.

Now, more than ever, you need to be accredited!

If your company is located in a city targeted for the second-round of competitive bidding for DMEPOS products, you MUST have an application in with one of the CMS 'approved' accreditation organizations no later than July 21, 2008.

This summer, while working on your bid to continue serving Medicare beneficiaries, you also must be getting accredited, no later than January 14, 2009 .

Even if you are fortunate not to be in one of the competitive bidding locations, to continue billing Medicare after September 30, 2009 the company must be accredited.

All Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetic and Orthotic (DMEPOS) suppliers must meet CMS Quality Standards to bill Medicare. Do You?

Get Accredited Quickly!

Vianna Zimbel Consulting offers a complete package that includes an on site mock survey, action plan, policy manual, all required forms and training materials for home medical equipment accreditation organizations as well as CMS Quality Standards for DMEPOS.

The process starts by contacting us to discuss your specific needs. If you need a policy manual you then provide us with the setup package of forms you already have in use for providing equipment and/or supplies. These forms will be reviewed for compliance with Medicare, Federal, and your accreditation-organization-of-choice requirements. Each accreditation organization has slightly different requirements: you want to comply with your accreditation organization, not all of them! If necessary, modifications or substitutions for your current forms will be provided, and then all forms are integrated into your customized policy manual.

On-site consulting is a 'mock survey' that is identical to an actual survey, with much coaching and feedback to staff. Your company doesn't have to be perfect for the mock survey: use this time to learn how a surveyor inspects your company and services, and what needs to be addressed before the real thing. This on-site visit (typically only one day) is followed by a detailed check-list report that guides you through the preparations for inspection. We offer a straightforward all-inclusive guide for making accreditation as simple as possible. You will be more confident as you go forward, and successful when the inspector is at your company.

After this consulting project, we continue to provide support to any questions through and after the actual survey at no additional charge for the first year, and for a minimal subscription fee thereafter. Your success is important to us.
