About the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP)
The Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), founded by the American Osteopathic Association, has been providing medical facilities with an objective review of their services since 1945. The program is recognized nationally by the federal government, state governments, insurance carriers and managed care organizations.
An Invitation to Accreditation Excellence
The HFAP has been accrediting healthcare facilities for over 60 years under Medicare. It is one of only two voluntary accreditation programs in the United States authorized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), formerly HCFA, to survey hospitals under Medicare. In addition, the program is a cost-effective, user friendly means to validate the quality of care provided by a facility. If a healthcare facility is not accredited by the HFAP, we invite you to consider the benefits you would achieve by signing up.
