How Does an Iowa TPA Bond Work? 

As with all surety bonds, a third party administrator bond creates a legal contract between three parties: 

  1. Principal: You, the third party administrator filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Insurance Division of Iowa requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Iowa Administrative Code 191—58.3

If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety. 

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds expire annually. To renew your third party administrator bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted. 

We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
