It is important for all elder care facilities to take care of patients in all aspects including financially. To guarantee patient trust funds are protected and managed appropriately, state agencies require that these facilities file a surety bond. A patient trust bond (also called a medicaid or medicare bond) is a fiduciary type coverage that ensures a patient’s personal funds will be disbursed in an appropriate and ethical manner. The experts at SuretyBonds.com developed this guide to explain how patient trust bonds work and how a facility can get one.

Learn More About Patient Trust Bonds

Surety bonds act as a legally binding guarantee that joins together three parties:

• The obligee is the government agency that requires the bond.
• The principal is the nursing home that purchases the bond to guarantee proper management of patient funds.
• The surety is the insurance underwriter that issues the bond.

If the care facility fails to fulfill the bond’s terms, harmed parties can file a claim against the bond. If the claim is validated, the surety will reimburse the harmed party. The surety will then seek reimbursement from the facility according to the bond’s contractual agreement.

Patient Trust Bond Requirements

The patient trust bond outlines the legal guarantees required by specific care facilities. The bond may require that patient funds deposited at with the facility are:

• Held separately and in trust
• Administered on behalf of patients in the manner directed by the depositors
