What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Florida licenses health care clinics, home health agencies, and home medical equipment providers through the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) under Chapter 408, Part II. To enforce the licensing law against owners who could leave the country, §408.8065(2), F.S., adds a financial-security requirement when a nonimmigrant alien is an applicant or controlling interest.
In that case, the applicant or controlling interest must file a surety bond of at least $500,000, payable to the agency, guaranteeing that the clinic, agency, or provider operates in full conformity with all legal requirements. It backs the public’s recovery if the licensee engages in fraud or other violations of Florida law.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We write the statutory $500,000 amount at $5,000 flat, set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond, with a soft credit check that may apply and never affects your score, ready to file with your AHCA application or change of ownership.
