In response to feedback from providers, ACHC has redesigned the preaccreditation process to help reduce the time required to apply for accreditation.
ACHC’s newly redesigned Customer Central now allows providers to complete a
simplified application that includes a streamlined Preliminary Evidence Review
(PER), secure online payments, and a live chat feature to connect directly with an
accreditation expert. These enhancements allow providers to complete the preaccreditation process faster and easier than ever before.
