About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the TPA bond actually covers

A third party administrator (TPA) processes claims, collects premiums, or otherwise administers benefits for self-funded health, life, or governmental plans — handling other people's money without being the insurer or the plan. Kansas licenses TPAs through the Insurance Department under the TPA act, K.S.A. 40-3801 et seq.

When the act requires a surety bond, the bond is a fiduciary guarantee: it stands behind the TPA's faithful handling and accounting of the funds it administers, for the protection of the plans, the insurers, and the covered people whose money flows through the administrator.

Because the required amount is tied to the funds you handle, there is no single flat figure — the Insurance Department sets it for your license. Enter that figure and we quote your price, starting from $100; no credit check up to $100,000. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

K.S.A. 40-3801 et seq. (third party administrators)Kansas licenses third party administrators under the TPA act, K.S.A. 40-3801 et seq., administered by the Insurance Department. The act requires a surety bond in certain cases — for example, an administrator handling self-insured governmental or church plan funds under K.S.A. 40-3812 — in an amount the department sets based on the funds administered. Confirm the bond amount and form the department requires for your license.

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 the Insurance Department. Submit the executed bond with your TPA license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the department 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 $100,000. 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.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the department set — the executed bond is generated, ready to file with your TPA license.
