When a Montana nursing facility holds residents’ personal spending money in trust, federal law requires it be secured — and a surety bond is the accepted way to do it. The amount tracks the funds you hold for residents. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard resident trust bond — enter your amount, pay, and you have the executed bond. Here is the whole thing:
Facility details, the bond amount covering the funds you hold, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Keep the executed bond on file as evidence the trust funds are secured, ready for survey and your DPHHS provider record. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the funds you hold in trust and the premium updates.
A nursing facility often manages small sums of residents’ personal money — spending accounts for haircuts, snacks, sundries. Federal nursing-home rules at 42 CFR 483.10(f)(10) require any facility that holds those funds to secure them by surety bond or equivalent, so a resident is made whole if the money is mismanaged or the facility fails.
In Montana, facilities certified for Medicaid through the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) meet this requirement as a condition of participation. The bond is sized to the amount of resident funds held in trust — you set it to your trust account balance, with a little headroom for fluctuation.
It protects the residents as the beneficiaries: if the facility misapplies their funds, a resident (or the state on their behalf) can recover against the bond. If the surety pays a claim, the facility repays the surety — it is a guarantee of honest stewardship, not insurance for the facility.
Submit the application with the bond amount that covers the funds you hold — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to keep on file.
