A Wisconsin third party administrator that handles insurance plan funds must show financial responsibility under Wis. Stat. 633.14 — commonly a $25,000 surety bond filed with the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI). At the $25,000 figure, ours is $750 flat, 3% of the bond amount.
















Your TPA license filing is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process:
Business details, owner information, and the OCI-required bond amount — that is the application.

$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. If the OCI set a higher amount, the premium is a flat 3% of that figure.
A third party administrator (TPA) handles money and claims for someone else’s insurance or benefit plan — collecting premiums, paying claims, or administering accounts. Wisconsin licenses administrators through the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance under Wis. Stat. 633.14 and conditions the license on proof of financial responsibility.
The bond is a fidelity-style guarantee standing behind your honest handling of plan funds. It runs in favor of the state and the plans and parties you administer for; if a TPA mishandles the funds it holds and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The common minimum is $25,000, but the OCI can require a higher amount depending on whether you collect premiums, pay benefits, or hold client funds. Confirm your figure on your OCI letter and we’ll match it.
