Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced

regulations requiring suppliers of certain durable medical equipment,

prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS) to post a surety bond as a

condition of new or continued Medicare enrollment. The regulation states

that beginning May 4, 2009 suppliers seeking to enroll as a new applicant,

adding an additional practice location, or changing the ownership of a

DMEPOS supplier must submit a $50,000 surety bond to obtain Medicare

billing privileges.  Existing DMEPOS suppliers must submit to the NSC a

$50,000 surety bond for each assigned NPI beginning on October 2, 2009 to

maintain Medicare billing privileges.

Updated questions and answers are posted in the Surety Bond  FAQs on the

NSC web site and will continue to be updated as additional information

becomes available.
