About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Colorado registers hearing aid providers — the people who fit and dispense hearing aids — through the Division of Professions and Occupations (Department of Regulatory Agencies), under Title 12, Article 5.5. A provider must maintain a $10,000 surety bond (or, alternatively, a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy) as a condition of practice.

The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it lets clients recover damages if a provider fails to comply with state law or engages in fraudulent conduct in selling or fitting hearing aids — a meaningful backstop for buyers who depend on the device and have paid for it.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you’re registered, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $10,000 filing continuous.

C.R.S. Title 12, Article 5.5 (Hearing Aid Providers)Colorado registers hearing aid providers through the Division of Professions and Occupations (DORA) under Title 12, Article 5.5, and requires a $10,000 surety bond — or, alternatively, a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy — as a condition of practice. The bond lets clients recover for a provider’s failure to comply with state law or fraudulent conduct. Confirm the current citation/amount on your registration packet.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Colorado hearing aid provider bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every provider. The $10,000 is set by the state, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Can I use insurance instead? +
Colorado lets a hearing aid provider satisfy the requirement with either a $10,000 surety bond or a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy. The bond is usually far cheaper for this purpose — $300 a year versus carrying a million-dollar policy for it.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount registration bonds like this one don’t need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active while you’re registered. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
