Hello, I have opened a Medical Equipment Company. I do not have a Medicare Number and I have to turn away a lot of business. I have followed all the guidelines so I can apply for a Medicare billing #. First getting a NPI #. Medicare states that any DME company with a NPI # must have a Surety Bond of $50,000 by Oct, 2009. I applied for a Surety Bond and was denied for two reasons. First I was denied because in the application it asks for our NPI # and our Medicare #. We do not have a Medicare number yet and need a bond to apply. My first application was denied because I did not provide a Medicare #. The second time I applied at another company I wrote a letter stating we do not have a medicare billing number yet. They then asked the % of rentals for DME from Medicare, I put 0% since we do not have a medicare #. "Denied again" Then I was denied for not having the best credit score. My question is should I apply again at another bond company?
Thank you,
Thank you,
