Ohio conditions a skilled home health services license on a $50,000 surety bond payable to the State, filed with the Ohio Department of Health under ORC Chapter 3740. Ours is $1,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your home-health license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Agency details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your skilled home health services license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department insists.
$50,000 bond × 3% = $1,500, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Ohio licenses home health agencies through the Ohio Department of Health under ORC Chapter 3740. Agencies that were not providing direct care before the licensure program took effect must file a surety bond payable to the State — $50,000 for skilled home health services (and $20,000 for non-medical services).
The bond is a consumer-and-state protection guarantee. It stands behind the agency’s compliance with home-health licensure law and protects clients and the State against losses from the agency’s failure to comply or from fraudulent conduct.
It is not insurance for the agency — if the surety pays a claim, the agency repays the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of the license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
