What it is and who needs it.
What the patient trust bond actually covers
When a Florida nursing home manages residents’ personal funds in trust — spending money, allowances, and the like — the facility must protect those funds. Under §400.162, a licensee that holds resident funds in trust files a surety bond with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).
The bond is conditioned on the licensee’s faithful compliance with the resident-funds provisions of the statute, and runs to the agency for the benefit of any resident injured by a violation. If the facility mishandles a resident’s personal funds or property, the harmed resident can recover against the bond.
The amount is twice the average monthly balance in the resident trust fund during the prior year, or $5,000, whichever is greater. A new bond or continuation certificate is required on each annual renewal date. As an alternative, the statute allows a self-insurance agreement under agency rule. Enter the figure that applies — the premium is 1% of that amount, $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.
