What it is and who needs it.
What the PBM bond guarantees
A pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) administers prescription-drug benefits for health plans — building formularies, processing claims, and paying pharmacies. Oklahoma licenses PBMs through the Insurance Department and requires a surety bond as a condition of that license.
Under 36 O.S. §6963, before a PBM license issues the applicant must file — and keep in effect — a surety bond in an amount the Commissioner determines is sufficient. The penal sum scales with the PBM's Oklahoma covered lives: smaller PBMs file in the $50,000 range, while a PBM above 100,000 covered lives must carry a minimum $1,000,000 bond.
The bond protects pharmacies, plan sponsors, and the state against a PBM's failure to meet its statutory obligations. This page issues the $50,000 tier at $500 flat. If your covered lives put you higher, send us the figure and we'll quote that tier, with one soft credit check.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $50,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the Insurance Department. Pay online and receive the executed $50,000 bond, ready to file with your PBM license application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $500 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
