Update Your Accreditation

If your facility undergoes any of the following changes, you are required to submit an application update. Notify BOC by submitting application changes and documentation prior to or concurrently with the changes taking effect at your facility.

If your facility ownership, stockholders, facility name, or operations change...

  1. Please submit the facility change application, along with the required documentation and payment.

If your facility location changes, or if you are opening a new location...

  1. Please submit the facility change of address application, along with the required documentation and payment.

  2. Your location will be resurveyed to verify that your new location meets all requirements.

If your facility adds product categories...

  1. Submit an addition of product categories application indicating which categories you would like to add. Please note that additional documentation is required to be submitted for certain product categories.

  2. Your facility may need to be resurveyed and there may be additional survey or administrative fees. This depends on the product categories being added.

IMPORTANT:

  • It is important that you notify BOC of changes. Your facility may be resurveyed at any point during the accreditation period. If discrepancies are noted, there may be delays and/or additional fees.

  • If you have added product categories since the time of your initial accreditation, CMS will only reimburse you for categories for which you have been BOC-approved.

  • If your change affects the information you provided to CMS on your Provider Enrollment Application (855S), you are responsible for submitting an updated form to CMS within 30 days of the effective date of change. Applicable changes are listed on the application under “Who Should Submit This Application.
