Accredited Bariatric Centers: What Is the Difference between Provisional and Full Approval?

Provisional Approval

Provisional Approval as an ACS BSCN Accredited Bariatric Center is granted to facilities whose application has been approved by the ACS BSCN Accreditation Program, that have a fully executed participation agreement that is signed by the center and by the ACS, and that have paid the accreditation fee.

Full Approval

Full approval as an ACS Accredited Bariatric Center is granted once a provisionally approved center completed a successful site visit. After full approval is conferred, ACS BSCN sends a Certificate of Accreditation and updates the center’s status on its Web site.
