What it is and who needs it.
What the patient trust fund bond actually covers
Missouri long-term care facilities are regulated under Chapter 198, RSMo by the Department of Health and Senior Services. When a facility holds residents’ personal funds in trust under RSMo 198.090, RSMo 198.096 requires it to obtain and file a bond protecting that money.
The bond is conditioned that the operator will comply with the trust-fund rules and not wrongfully deprive a resident, former resident, or a former resident’s estate of money held in trust. If a facility mishandles or wrongfully withholds residents’ personal funds, those residents can recover against the bond.
The amount is one and one-half times the average monthly balance (or average of the monthly balances) of the residents’ personal-funds accounts for the preceding twelve months, rounded to the nearest $1,000. For a new facility, the department sets the amount based on size, type, and resident count. A facility may post a cash deposit under an approved escrow agreement instead of a bond.
