Multiple locations will be treated as a network and if policies are unified throughout the networked locations, a sample percentage of locations will be reviewed and billed for accreditation per number of employees at each location. Network pricing will be determined at the time of application.

The reaccreditation fee every three years is based on the number of full-time employees within the organization at the locations being accredited at the time of reaccreditation. Reaccreditation after three years is evaluated against updated standards. It is not a full survey review upon reaccreditation.

Annual fees are designed to cover access to resources, updates, and the review of the compliance/self-assessment form. Having an initial fee and annual fees provides financial convenience over a larger upfront fee and is normal practice for accreditation bodies.
