Learn More About Patient Trust Bonds

Each surety bond that’s issued acts as a legally binding guarantee that joins together three parties.

• The obligee is the government agency that requires the bond.
• The principal is the facility that purchases the bond to guarantee proper management of patient funds.
• The surety is the insurance underwriter that issues the bond.

The legal guarantee provided by the bond depends on the contractual terms outlined in your specific form. Generally speaking, these bonds require that nursing homes and other long-term care services manage patient funds appropriately. For example, the bond language might require the following of patient funds deposited with the facility:

• held separately and in trust
• administered on behalf of patients in the manner directed by the depositors
• accounted for truthfully and wholly to the patients, the depositors and the obligee when requested
• accounted for truthfully and wholly upon termination of each deposit

If the bonded agency fails to fulfill the bond’s terms, harmed parties can file a claim against the bond. The surety will investigate the claim; if the claim is validated, the surety will reimburse the harmed party. If a claim is paid out, the surety will seek reimbursement from the facility per the bond’s contractual agreement.
