About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the PBM bond actually guarantees

A pharmacy benefits manager administers prescription-drug benefits for health plans — processing claims, building pharmacy networks, and negotiating with manufacturers. Connecticut requires a PBM to hold a certificate of registration from the Insurance Department under C.G.S. 38a-479bbb, and conditions registration on a surety bond.

The bond is sized to the PBM’s Connecticut footprint: 10% of one month of claims paid in this state on a twelve-month average, but not less than $25,000 nor more than $1,000,000. It stands behind the PBM’s compliance with Connecticut law and its obligations to the plans and pharmacies it works with.

It is not insurance for you — if a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety. The registration is renewed annually (it expires December 31 if requirements are not met), so the bond must stay active. We issue the amount your registration requires; the application collects no credit information, and premiums start from $100.

C.G.S. 38a-479bbb (Insurance Department)C.G.S. 38a-479bbb requires a pharmacy benefits manager to hold a certificate of registration from the Connecticut Insurance Department, with each application accompanied by a $50 fee and a surety bond equal to ten percent of one month of claims in this state on a twelve-month average — not less than $25,000 nor more than $1,000,000. Registration is renewed annually. Confirm your required amount with the department.
