Licensure/Accreditation/Medicare Certification

Preparing for an initial licensure survey or accreditation is undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges ASC leadership will face. Failure is not an option and the success of the center, reimbursement, patient confidence, and credibility with physicians that provide ongoing referrals, are all contingent upon successfully maintaining accreditation and/or certification. SCCS has helped numerous surgery centers and office based surgical settings achieve and maintain accreditation (and licensure if required) by leveraging years of experience and implementing proven best practices. With our partnership, I promise to make your accreditation process as seamless and stress-free as possible, providing proven guidance for highly successful outcomes.
