Accreditation isn't just a compliance requirement—it's a measurable business investment. But most administrators have no idea what their actual ROI is (or should be).
This Cost Comparison & ROI Worksheet gives you the framework to:
Compare Accreditor Costs Side-by-Side
Track application fees, survey fees, travel costs, expedited processing, policy templates, training programs, annual fees, and re-survey costs across all five major accrediting bodies.
Calculate Your True Investment
Capture the complete picture: accreditation fees, preparation costs, and staff time/opportunity costs that consultants never mention.
Quantify Your Returns
Document new physician revenue, improved payer rates, secured contracts, and marketing/visibility value from your "accredited" status.
Hit Your Target
Use the included ROI formula to aim for at least a 3:1 return within 12 months post-accreditation—the benchmark of high-performing ASCs.
Stop guessing whether accreditation is worth it. Start proving it.
