To enroll as a durable medical equipment provider in MaineCare (Maine’s Medicaid program), the Office of MaineCare Services requires a $50,000 surety bond standing behind the program against overpayments. Ours is $1,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every provider. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your MaineCare DME enrollment is waiting on this bond. Here’s the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed $50,000 bond ready to submit with your MaineCare DME provider enrollment. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the program insists.
$50,000 bond × 3% = $1,500, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
MaineCare is Maine’s Medicaid program, administered by the Office of MaineCare Services within the Department of Health and Human Services. Durable medical equipment (DME) providers — companies that supply wheelchairs, oxygen, hospital beds, CPAP machines and the like — bill the program for that equipment, and a surety bond stands behind those billings.
The bond is a $50,000 financial guarantee for the benefit of the Office of MaineCare Services: if the program overpays a provider, or a provider bills improperly and owes the program money it does not repay, MaineCare can recover against the bond. It mirrors the federal Medicare DMEPOS bonding requirement that applies to the same kind of supplier.
It is a three-party guarantee, not insurance for you: if MaineCare recovers on the bond, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you are enrolled as a DME provider — we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
