A CMS surety bond is a $50,000 bond required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) of DMEPOS suppliers who accept Medicare payments for those products. These bonds help protect against billing fraud and abuse. A separate CMS bond is needed for each national provider identifier (NPI) obtained for Medicare billing purposes.
CMS bonds renew annually and the premium is often only 0.5% – 2% of the bond amount. The bond is typically needed as long as you keep your license. The underwriting is typically a simple one-page application, although occasionally additional information may be required.
