BMI staffers have hands-on experience with both obtaining and re-accrediting a Center of Excellence program in bariatric surgery. Our COE services range from program start-up (the perfect time to consider COE requirements) to a "mock" re-accreditation review. No longer a market differentiator, COE status should be viewed as the "cost of entry" for a bariatric program in the marketplace. In many geographic settings, COE accreditation can even determine payment levels for bariatric services. Several government programs actually use COE status as a determining factor for payment of any sort.

Do not risk financial penalty when your program is coming up for review. Let the experts at BMI help “set the stage” for positive results!
