About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the TPA bond actually covers

A third party administrator collects premiums or settles claims for insurers and self-funded plans. Connecticut licenses TPAs through the Insurance Department and, under CGS 38a-720j, requires a surety bond sufficient to protect insurers and other persons using the TPA's services — but not less than $500,000.

The bond is a financial-responsibility guarantee: it stands behind the funds the TPA handles for insurers and plan members. If the TPA mishandles those funds and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the TPA repays the surety.

The statute offers an alternative: the commissioner may waive the bond if the applicant submits audited annual financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years proving a positive net worth. TPAs administering governmental or church self-insured plans can have separate bond requirements. Whatever amount applies, we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

CGS 38a-720jConnecticut General Statutes § 38a-720j requires a third party administrator to execute a surety bond, in an amount the commissioner determines is sufficient to protect insurers and other persons using the TPA's services but not less than $500,000, and to maintain it as a condition of license renewal. The commissioner may waive the bond if the applicant submits audited annual financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years proving a positive net worth. Separate bonds can apply to TPAs administering governmental or church self-insured plans. Confirm your required amount with the Insurance Department.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Connecticut TPA bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The statutory floor under CGS 38a-720j is $500,000, so the premium starts around $15,000 — the commissioner can require a higher amount. Enter your figure and the quote updates.
Can I avoid the bond? +
Possibly. CGS 38a-720j lets the commissioner waive the bond if you submit audited annual financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years proving a positive net worth. If you can’t use that waiver, the surety bond is the path.
Is there a credit check? +
No credit pull is run on this bond. Because of the size, the TPA bond gets a quick underwriting review — we may ask for a couple of documents, but it never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects insurers and other persons using your services against losses from mishandled funds. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is a financial-responsibility guarantee, not insurance for you.
Where do I file it? +
With the Connecticut Insurance Department, as a condition of your TPA license and each renewal. We issue the executed bond ready to file.
