For healthcare providers or organizations, accreditation surveys are unavoidable. In order to receive certification from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)—which is required for facilities wishing to receive reimbursement from Medicare—an organization must be accredited.

TJC accredits a site at least once every three years, while DNV accredits a site for three years but visits annually.
