Pharmacy Attestation Information (Revised)


As of January 1, 2011, pharmacies that meet all of the criteria may file an accreditation exemption statement which enables them to be enrolled in Medicare to supply durable medical equipment, orthotics, prosthetics and supplies (DMEPOS) which require accreditation, without having an accreditation.

Pharmacies must complete and submit the attached attestation statement to the National Provider Enrollment (NPWest) along with a current copy of the comprehensive liability insurance in the amount of at least $300,000 (for each incident), listing the NPWest as a certificate holder. Full exemption criteria along with the attestation statement are attached. These should be mailed to the below address:

National Provider Enrollment West (NPWest)
