About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the TPA bond actually covers

A third party administrator (TPA) handles claims, premiums, or other administration for insurers and benefit plans. Delaware licenses TPAs through the Department of Insurance under Title 18, and conditions the license on a surety bond.

The bond is a compliance-and-fiduciary guarantee: it's a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State (the obligee), with the insurers, plans, and consumers you administer for as the protected parties. If a TPA mishandles funds or violates the law that governs it, a harmed party can recover against the bond.

The amount is set by the Department of Insurance as a condition of licensure — there is no single statutory figure, and it can depend on your book of business. Enter the figure named on your licensing paperwork; pricing starts from $100, and no credit check up to $50,000.

Title 18 (Department of Insurance)Delaware licenses third party administrators through the Department of Insurance under Title 18 of the Delaware Code, and conditions the license on a surety bond. The required amount is set by the Department as part of licensure rather than a single fixed statutory figure. Confirm the exact bond amount on your TPA licensing paperwork or send it to us and we will confirm.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A court bond answers to the court and the party its order protects: if the judgment or order the bond secures is not satisfied, that party can claim against it, up to the penal sum the court set.

The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety. A court 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.

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 your TPA license. Submit the executed bond to the Department of Insurance with your license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.

What sets the price

The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
