Lincare's Commitment to Excellence: Reaccreditation by CHAP

Author: Jessica Fox

CHAP Seal
Every three years, Lincare must renew its accreditation with CHAP (Community Health Accreditation Partner), an independent, nonprofit accrediting body for home and community-based healthcare organizations. We are proud to announce that Lincare has been reaccredited by CHAP, effective December 15, 2024, for our Home Medical Equipment and Pharmacy services, including our wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Importance of CHAP Accreditation

CHAP’s Standards of Excellence are a comprehensive set of guidelines and requirements that organizations like ours must meet to achieve accreditation. These standards are deeply rooted in industry practices and cover critical areas such as clinical care, patient safety, management practices, and organizational governance. This ensures that we not only meet but exceed the expectations for quality healthcare provision.

CHAP and CMS: A Partnership for Quality

Angie's community involvement is diverse and impactful. She regularly organizes and participates in roadside clean-ups, contributing to a cleaner environment for everyone. Her role as a member of the Board of Education showcases her dedication to improving educational outcomes for local children. Additionally, Angie is a devoted member of her local church, where she continuously seeks ways to support and uplift her community.

A Testament to Our Team’s Dedication

"The CHAP accreditation is another endorsement of the good work we do," stated CEO Jeff Barnhard. “Our reaccreditation is a team achievement, exemplifying the hard work and dedication of every member of the Lincare family.”

A Legacy of Excellence

CHAP made history in 1992 by becoming the first home care accrediting body in the nation to receive deeming authority from the federal government. This recognition certified that CHAP’s Standards of Excellence met or surpassed the government’s own standards for Medicare certification, thus setting a high benchmark for quality in healthcare.

At Lincare, we are honored to carry the legacy of excellence that CHAP signifies. Our reaccreditation reflects our unwavering commitment to providing the highest standard of care to our patients and upholding the integrity and quality of our services. We remain dedicated to advancing healthcare standards and ensuring the well-being of our communities.
