Suppliers of durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics and supplies (dmepos) are required by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to have a Medicare surety bond. This bond is also referred to as a DMEPOS Surety Bond. The bond is required to be in the amount of $50,000.
The bond is to protect CMS, and states that they will be able to recoup any losses caused by fraudulent activity or incorrect billing by the company that purchases the bond. If they feel you have wronged them in a financial matter they can file a claim with your surety company. The claim will be researched and if the surety company pays out, you must pay them back
