Quality DME & HME Insurance
For The Durable & Home Medical Equipment Industry
*** Information regarding the new CMS Surety Bond Mandate ***
In response to the new CMS rule mandating surety bonds for virtually all HME providers, HOMed is accepting applications for the HOMed Surety Bond. As a leading insurance and risk management provider to hundreds of HME and O & P facilities nationwide, we promise to provide the best solution available in the marketplace.
If you are an existing company you have until October 2nd, 2009 to provide the National Supplier Clearinghouse with a surety bond valued at no less than $50,000. Please take the time to complete the Surety Bond Application.
The HOMed program is specifically designed to provide Home Medical Equipment (HME) Dealers and Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Dealers a custom-tailored, comprehensive insurance package to meet the industry's specialized needs. Eligible operations include medical equipment dealers that sell and rent disposable and non-disposable items. Typical types of products include beds, crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, portable oxygen tanks and other medical equipment.
Our success working with DME and HME dealers has allowed us to expand the program to include Orthotic and Prosthetic facilities. More detailed information on facilities eligible under this program can be found at HOMed O & P Plus.
COVERAGE ADVANTAGES
The most frequent exposure for a dealer involves proper demonstration and instruction in the use of the product. However, many policies contain a standard Professional Health Care Services Exclusion that eliminates this type of protection for the Home Medical Equipment (HME) Dealer. HOMed's definition of “Professional Health Care Services” specifically covers delivery, assembly, demonstration, maintenance and instruction in the use of medical, dental, surgical, nursing or therapeutic equipment, devices or appliances in the customers’ home.
HOMed also offers a unique property extension endorsement that simplifies your property coverage needs by combining several key exposures into one comprehensive form.
Coverages Available:
All coverages are subject to underwriting approval.
