Accreditation Networks
If you’re part of an established accreditation network, the fees can vary based on your adjusted accreditation term. There’s also a volume pricing discount if you manage over five accredited services. For instance:
- 6 to 14 Services: 5% discount
- 15-29 Services: 10% discount
- 30-44 Services: 15% discount
- 45-59 Services: 20% discount
- 60+ Services: 25% discount
Application Add-ons
If you need any additional options during your application process, those fees will be added to your total. For example:
- Expedited Accreditation: $500
- Custom BAA: $600
Service Fees
Sometimes, you might incur service fees if application deadlines are missed or if you need to reinstate a suspended accreditation. Here are a few key fees:
- Late Reaccreditation Application: $750
- Suspended Accreditation Reinstatement Fee: $250
- Cancellation of In-Person Site Visit: $750
Just a heads-up, if a site visit is required outside the normal application process, it’ll cost $2,000 for a site visit within the continental U.S.
Change Requests
If you need to notify about changes—like a new primary contact or alterations in your accredited services—you should do so within 30 days. Some changes may incur fees, like the relocation of an accredited in-lab sleep testing service, which costs $1,000, but most other changes are free.
Application Fee Refunds
If you decide to withdraw your application, you can get a partial refund based on when you do it. For example, if you withdraw before the initial review, you could receive 80% of your application fee back!
Promoting Your Accredited Status
Once accredited, you can promote your services using the accreditation logo. Just keep in mind that using the logo incorrectly or misrepresenting your services can lead to serious repercussions, including fines.
