What it is and who needs it.
What this bond actually covers
When an Ohio Medicaid nursing facility undergoes a change of operator under ORC Chapter 5165, the Department of Medicaid (ODM) uses a debt-estimation methodology to size the exiting operator's actual and potential debt to the program. ODM can withhold final payments equal to that estimate, and an entering operator may instead assume the liability or post security so the facility can keep participating.
A surety bond is one form of that security. It runs to the State of Ohio / ODM as obligee and guarantees payment of the estimated Medicaid debt the bond is written to cover. It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and ODM — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
One honest caveat: a successor-liability agreement under ORC 5165.521 may not require the signing operator to furnish a surety bond, so a bond on a change of operator is generally an alternative form of security rather than a flat statutory mandate. The amount, form, and whether a bond is accepted are set by ODM for your specific transaction — confirm the exact requirement with the Department before you rely on it. Whatever amount applies, we issue at a flat 3%.
