Practice network accreditation refers to the accreditation of a single parent company that owns practices within a practice network. To achieve practice network accreditation, the company must have 90% of its practices accredited or pre-accredited by AAHA, with a goal of having 100% of its practices accredited.
PetWell Partners was the first company to receive practice network accreditation.
Individual practices within a network go through the exact same process and accreditation evaluation as any other practice; these practices also incur the same fees.
