About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the TPA bond actually covers

Maryland regulates third party administrators — firms that collect premiums, adjust claims, or otherwise handle money for insurance and benefit plans they do not underwrite — under the Insurance Article. A TPA must register with the Maryland Insurance Administration and file a surety bond before it handles plan funds.

The bond is a fidelity-style guarantee: it protects the insurers, plans, and people whose money the administrator holds against fraud or dishonest handling of those funds. It runs to the State for the benefit of the harmed parties — not to the TPA.

The amount scales with the money you administer. Maryland generally sets it at no less than 10% of the average amount of funds you hold at any one time, with a $5,000 floor and a cap the Commissioner can raise for large administrators. Confirm your figure with the Insurance Administration, enter it here, and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Md. Insurance Article, §8-301 et seq.Maryland third party administrators register with and are regulated by the Maryland Insurance Administration under the Insurance Article, Title 8, Subtitle 3 (§8-301 et seq.). The bond requirement is generally set at no less than 10% of the average amount of funds the administrator handles at any one time, subject to a $5,000 minimum and a ceiling the Commissioner may adjust. Confirm your required amount with the Insurance Administration before filing.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Maryland TPA bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by your registration — generally at least 10% of the average funds you hold at one time, no less than $5,000. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
How do I know my bond amount? +
The Insurance Administration ties it to the plan funds you administer. The statutory floor is $5,000, and for most administrators it runs to 10% of the average amount handled at any one time. Confirm the figure with the Administration and we issue the bond for it.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the standard TPA bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects the insurers, plans, and people whose money you hold against fraud or dishonest handling of those funds. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for you.
Where do I file it? +
With the Maryland Insurance Administration, alongside your TPA registration. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
