Yesterday evening we learned from the U.S. Department of Transportation that they are warning the public about a major concern involving the purchase and installation of a significant number of potentially faulty air bags by independent repair shops around the country. The DOT will announce a process for the public to follow to determine if their vehicle may be at risk. That process may involve questions for insurers who paid claims for air bag replacements.

As a reminder, we have a rate of $250 annually ($5 per thousand) for DMEPOS bonds, and this low rate is available to all qualifying applicants.   Also, our streamlined application process for the Federal Medicare DMEPOS Bond required for suppliers of Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies makes it easy to apply for these bonds.
