Changes to Surety Bonds


Have you changed surety bond companies? Did you notify the NPWest of the new bond? Per CFR 42 424.57(d)(9), “A DMEPOS supplier that obtains a replacement surety bond from a different surety to cover the remaining term of a previously obtained bond must submit the new surety bond to the CMS contractor at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the previous surety bond. There must be no gap in the coverage of the surety bond periods.”

 

If you have obtained a new bond from what was originally provided to the NPWest, please ensure the new inforamtion is listed on the enrollment. Updating only your bond can be done through the NPE West Web Form Submission tool. If there are additional changes to the information provided, please submit a change of information on the CMS 855S form or via Internet-based PECOS within 30 days of the change.
