About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the TPA bond actually guarantees

A third party administrator collects premiums, adjusts claims, or otherwise administers insurance business on behalf of insurers. Louisiana licenses TPAs through the Department of Insurance under the third-party-administrator provisions of the Insurance Code (Title 22), and conditions the license on a surety bond filed with the Commissioner.

The bond is the administrator's financial guarantee to the Commissioner of Insurance that it will discharge and perform its duties under Titles 22 and 23 and all other applicable laws. If a TPA fails to account for funds it handles or otherwise breaches those obligations, the bond stands behind the loss.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The Department sets which bond amount applies; this page is the $100,000 filing, the level most active administrators handling larger contracts are required to post. If your instructions call for $50,000, use that page instead.

La. R.S. 22, TPA provisions (Title 22)Louisiana's third-party-administrator provisions in the Insurance Code (Title 22; the TPA bond was historically cited as R.S. 22:3041 and is now within the renumbered TPA chapter) require a TPA to file a surety bond with the Department of Insurance as its financial guarantee to the Commissioner, conditioned on performance of its duties under Titles 22 and 23. The Department sets the required amount — $100,000 is the level most active administrators post. Confirm your required amount on your filing.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the $100,000 Louisiana TPA bond? +
The premium is $3,000 — a flat 3% of the $100,000 bond amount, the same for every administrator filing at this level. The $100,000 is set by the Department of Insurance, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $100,000? +
No. You pay $3,000. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is it $100,000 or $50,000 for me? +
The Department of Insurance sets the amount. Most active administrators handling larger or multiple contracts file at $100,000; some limited-scope firms file at $50,000. Check your licensing instructions — we have a page for each.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your TPA license to stay valid.
