What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A third party administrator collects premiums or adjusts and settles claims on behalf of insurers or self-insured plans. Arkansas conditions the TPA license on a $25,000 surety bond filed with the Arkansas Insurance Department, as a financial backstop for the funds the administrator handles.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Arkansas through the Insurance Commissioner (the obligee). Under the bond, the administrator agrees to perform all legal steps required to qualify as a TPA and to comply with the Arkansas Insurance Code; if it fails to, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your TPA license can be affected — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $25,000 filing continuous.
