What it is and who needs it.
What the patient trust bond actually covers
Many nursing-facility residents let the facility hold and manage their personal spending money in a resident trust account. Virginia’s nursing facility regulations at 12VAC5-371-160 require a facility that manages resident funds to post a surety bond to protect that money, filed with the Virginia Department of Health.
The bond amount must be at least equal to the total resident personal funds the facility holds at any given time. Because that balance moves, you size the bond to your typical or peak holdings; we re-issue if your figure changes. Facilities enrolling as Medicaid providers generally must have the bond in place before enrollment.
The bond protects residents and their families: if the facility misappropriates or loses trust funds, harmed residents can recover against it. If the surety pays, the facility repays the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for the facility. We issue the amount you need with premiums starting from $100; the application collects no credit information at the standard amount.
