About Us
About NTAP-Certified™ by the VERA Certified Access Network™
At VERA CAN™, we believe earning NTAP approval from CMS is only the first step. True success comes from ensuring that every person supporting your technology — from your direct sales force and distributors to hospital administrators, coders, and clinicians — is trained, qualified, and verifiably competent.
Why?
Under CMS Conditions of Participation, hospitals are required to verify the competency of all vendor personnel involved in patient care. With NTAP status, your product is tied to higher hospital reimbursement — and that means increased scrutiny from CMS, The Joint Commission, and internal hospital compliance teams.
What We Do
We deliver NTAP-Certified™ training, representative certification, and company accreditation designed to meet CMS expectations and hospital requirements. Our program:
- Accredits your company’s NTAP education program
- Certifies your sales force, distributors, and trainers
- Provides hospitals with verifiable documentation to support ongoing compliance and reimbursement audits
Why It Matters
By aligning your team with NTAP-Certified™, you:
- Protect and maintain access to NTAP hospitals
- Build trust with providers and administrators
- Reduce compliance risk and safeguard reimbursement streams
- Show your commitment to excellence and patient safety
Our Mission
To bridge the gap between manufacturers and hospitals by setting a national standard for NTAP-related vendor competency — ensuring every stakeholder is prepared to deliver safe, compliant, and effective care.
Hospitals must verify. Companies must certify. VERA CAN™ connects both.
