What it is and who needs it.
What the recuperative care bond guarantees
Recuperative care (sometimes called medical respite) gives people experiencing homelessness a place to recover after a hospital stay. To bill Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) for it, a provider must enroll with the Department of Human Services and — as part of that enrollment — file a surety bond on form DHS-8748.
The bond is a Medicaid-program protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to bill honestly and repay any overpayments or improperly paid claims. It follows the federal provider-screening framework (42 CFR 455.105), which lets the state require a surety bond from enrolling providers.
This is the $50,000 version. DHS sets a $50,000 bond as the standard amount; providers receiving more than $300,000 in annual Medicaid payments file the $100,000 bond instead. If your volume is over that threshold, use the $100,000 page — and if you're not sure, send us your situation and we'll confirm.
