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.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

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 Division. Your executed $10,000 bond arrives by email, ready to file with your hearing aid provider registration or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Colorado hearing aid provider bond?The premium is $100 — set by our carrier’s rate book for 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 $100. 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 — $100 a year versus carrying a million-dollar policy for it.
Is there a credit check?No credit check: the application collects no credit information. 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.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
