What Are Minnesota PCA Agency Bonds? 

Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) requires personal care assistant (PCA) agency bonds for providers that administer personal care assistance to patients. 

PCA agency bonds protect the public from financial harm if a healthcare program provider violates Chapter 256B of the Minnesota Statutes. For example, if a care provider does not refund overpayments from Medicaid funds, the surety bond holds them financially liable to the Department of Human Services (DHS).

The Minnesota DHS requires this bond for all businesses providing personal care services, including: 

  • Personal care assistance providers and agencies
  • Class A licensed nursing agencies
  • Medicare-certified home health agencies (HHAs)

How Much Do Minnesota PCA Agency Bonds Cost?

MHCP-enrolled personal care providers need to file a $50,000 or $100,000 surety bond based on their total Medicaid payments in the previous calendar year:

  • $50,000 bond for Medicaid payments up to $300,000 or new agencies
  • $100,000 bond for Medicaid payments over $300,000  

Pricing starts as low as $425 for a $50,000 PCA agency bond or $850 for $100,000 coverage. Most qualified individuals who apply on SuretyBonds.com can expect to pay a rate of  0.85–4% of their total bond amount. Get your free quote now.

How Do Minnesota PCA Bonds Work? 

A Minnesota PCA agency bond binds three parties in a legal contract:  

  • Principal: The bonded personal care assistant agency
  • Surety: The provider issuing the bond to the principal 
  • Obligee: The Minnesota Department of Human Services

If the principal violates any laws or contract agreements, the obligee can file a claim against the surety bond. The surety will pay out valid claims and then seek reimbursement from the principal.
