CMS opens public comment on DNV's hospital accreditation for Medicare participation

CMS published a notice for the continued approval of DNV Healthcare USA Inc.'s hospital accreditation program. DNV is one of several accrediting organizations whose stamp allows hospitals to participate in Medicare and Medicaid. The notice opens a public comment period for stakeholders to provide feedback on DNV's performance. For hospitals accredited by DNV, this is a routine procedural step, not an indication of immediate change. The outcome reaffirms the accreditation pathway for billing Medicare.
