What it is and who needs it.
What the DMEPOS bond actually guarantees
A DMEPOS supplier bills Medicare for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies. To screen out illegitimate suppliers and protect the Medicare Trust Fund, CMS conditions enrollment on a surety bond under 42 CFR 424.57(d) — a $50,000 bond per practice location, maintained continuously for as long as you are enrolled.
The bond guarantees that if a supplier fails to pay civil monetary penalties, uncollected overpayments, or assessments levied by the government, CMS can recover those funds against the bond. A supplier enrolling a new location must add a $50,000 base bond (or a rider) for that location.
Some suppliers face an elevated amount — CMS prescribes an additional $50,000 of bonding per adverse legal action in the 10 years before enrollment, revalidation, or reenrollment. The bond is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the base $50,000, or your elevated figure, at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
