SECTION 5: COMPREHENSIVE LIABILITY INSURANCE INFORMATION
As required in 42 C.F.R. section 424.57(c)(10), all DMEPOS suppliers must have comprehensive liability
insurance in the amount of at least $300,000 (for each incident) and the insurance must remain in force at all
times. The NSC MAC, with full mailing address as shown on page 3, must be listed on the policy as a certificate
holder. You must submit a copy of the liability insurance policy or evidence of self-insurance with this
application. Failure to maintain the required insurance at all times will result in revocation of your Medicare
supplier billing number retroactive to the date the insurance lapsed, and/or overpayment collection.
Malpractice insurance is not the same as comprehensive liability insurance and does not meet compliance for
this requirement.
If you are changing your comprehensive liability insurance information, check the box below and furnish the
effective date.
