Alabama patient trust funds bonds.
From $100.
If your Alabama nursing facility holds resident funds in trust and participates in Medicaid, the Alabama Medicaid Agency requires a surety bond protecting those funds — consistent with federal 42 CFR 483.10. The price is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — no credit check up to $250,000, and your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the patient trust funds bond actually covers
Many nursing facilities manage small personal-funds accounts for residents — spending money and benefit deposits the facility holds in trust. Federal law, 42 CFR 483.10, requires a long-term care facility that manages resident funds to purchase a surety bond or otherwise assure the security of those funds.
Alabama implements that through the Alabama Medicaid Agency: a nursing facility holding resident trust funds must carry the bond to enroll and stay enrolled as a Medicaid provider (long-term care rules, Admin. Code ch. 560-X-10). The bond protects residents against mismanagement of their trust-account funds.
The amount generally tracks the total resident funds you hold, so it scales with your census and balances. If a facility misuses resident money, residents can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the facility repays the surety. Enter the figure the Medicaid Agency expects and we issue it — premiums are 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Medicaid Agency. Submit the executed bond with your nursing facility Medicaid enrollment or revalidation. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever they insist on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $250,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
