Medical Bonds / Medicaid Bonds / DMEPOS bonds guarantee that all claims submitted to Medicare / Medicaid are legitimate, and helps to cut down on fraudulent behavior. In exchange for annual premium, the surety bond provides a financial guarantee to the CMS that any potential claims will be corrected. If the surety company ends up paying out on a claim, the bond provider will be required to be reimbursed or repaid for the cost of the claim.
If you have multiple locations with different NPIs, and would like to cut down on additional paperwork, you may be able to have all of your locations listed on the same bond form. This can be achieved by having the surety issue one single bond with an addendum listing out each location. A bond must be purchased for every location that has it’s own National Provider Identifier (NPI).
