A transportation vendor contracting with UCare Minnesota, the Minneapolis-based nonprofit health plan, to provide non-emergency medical transportation for its members can be required under UCare's transportation network provider agreement to post a $100,000 bond. Ours is $2,000 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only.
















Network provider bonds like this are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Company details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no long credit section.
Network provider bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to deliver to your UCare contracting or network representative. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
UCare Minnesota is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit health plan serving Medicaid, Medicare, and individual and family members statewide. To keep members' non-emergency medical trips reliable, UCare contracts with a network of transportation vendors, and its transportation network provider agreement can condition network participation on a $100,000 surety bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal, the transportation vendor), the surety carrier, and UCare as obligee. If a contracted vendor fails to perform under its network agreement, or leaves a covered obligation unmet, UCare can make a claim against the bond, and if the surety pays, the vendor repays the surety.
This is a private contractual requirement arising from UCare's own provider agreement, not a Minnesota statute or Department of Human Services rule — so the amount, and whether a bond applies at all, follows UCare's own contracting terms rather than a fixed public code section. Confirm the current bonding requirement with your UCare contracting or network representative before applying.
Submit the application with your company details. Approval typically follows a quick soft credit check that never affects your score.
