Why do I need a bond to become a provider for Medicaid transportation in Indiana?
This bond allows individuals to offer transportation services to Medicaid recipients in Indiana. This includes rides to medical and other health-related appointments covered under the Medicaid recipient’s specific plan.
This bond ensures that Medicaid transportation providers comply with Indiana Code 12–15–11, which guarantees Medicaid recipients protection in the event that the provider violates a law, causing damages to the recipient. Recipients may file a claim against the surety bond for reimbursement if they sustain damages as a result of the transportation provider’s negligence.
Medicaid transportation providers can include:
- Ambulance or air ambulance
- Bus
- Taxi
- Common carrier (ambulatory or non-ambulatory)
- Family member
The bond requires the surety company to pay valid claims within 30 days of receiving written notice of proof of the surety’s liability. It must be continuously in effect for at least three years after the transportation provider applies for enrollment with Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP).
