It's a given. If you want to do business with Medicare, mandatory accreditation is right around the corner. And CMS says those HME providers who want to participate in competitive bidding next year must be accredited by early 2007.

Which organization is best for your company? What are their distinguishing characteristics? How do you begin the process? How much does it cost?

Find the answers to these and all your other questions at Medtrade's Accreditation Central, which will give show attendees the information they need for making decisions and moving forward.

Sponsored by HomeCare, Accreditation Central will feature representatives from a variety of accreditation organizations whose representatives will be on hand to talk with you during exhibit hall hours all three days of the show. Along with one-on-one face time, these accrediting bodies also will present sessions detailing their individual programs.

Don't miss this opportunity to find the accreditor that's right for you.
