About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the TPA bond actually covers

Minnesota licenses third party administrators — companies that collect premiums or adjust or settle claims on behalf of insurers — through the Department of Commerce under Minn. Stat. 60A.23, subd. 8. To be licensed, an administrator must show financial responsibility, usually through an unlimited guarantee from a parent corporation.

Where there is no such parent guarantee, the statute lets the commissioner accept a surety bond instead, in an amount equal to 120% of the total claims the applicant handled in the prior year. The bond protects the insurers and the public the administrator serves against losses from theft, dishonesty, or failure to remit.

Because the amount is set case by case from your prior-year volume, there is no single statutory figure — you enter what the commissioner required. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check, the same honest pricing as every bond we write.

Minn. Stat. 60A.23, subd. 8Under Minn. Stat. 60A.23, subd. 8, a third party administrator is licensed by the Department of Commerce. In lieu of an unlimited guarantee from a parent corporation, the commissioner may accept a surety bond in a form satisfactory to the commissioner in an amount equal to 120 percent of the total amount of claims handled by the applicant in the prior year. Confirm your required amount with the Department of Commerce.
