BOC Terminated as CMS Accreditation Organization
What You Need to Know
CMS has announced that, effective December 2, 2025, it has terminated the Board of Certification/Accreditation as an accreditation organization for DMEPOS suppliers. As of that date, BOC no longer has authority to:
- Perform reaccreditation activities;
- Conduct surveys or provide accreditation for new locations;
- Conduct surveys or provide accreditation for new products; and
- Execute any other functions as a CMS-approved accreditation organization.
CMS has not provided any information about the basis for BOC's termination, and as of the date of this publication, BOC has not issued any statements about this matter.
What This Means for You
If you are BOC-certified and need to renew accreditation, change a location, update ownership information, add new products, or modify any other information, you must obtain accreditation from a CMS-approved accreditation organization. BOC can no longer perform any of these activities.
If you are a DMEPOS supplier that is currently using BOC to get accredited, you will need to find another accreditation organization and use it to become accredited.
