About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A discount medical plan organization sells members access to discounted health-care services for a fee — not insurance, but a program Connecticut regulates through the Insurance Department under C.G.S. 38a-479rr et seq. Because members pay in advance, the state wants a financial backstop standing behind the program.

The license is conditioned on financial security: an organization either maintains a net worth of at least $250,000 or files a $100,000 surety bond for the benefit of the state and harmed members. If the organization fails to deliver the promised discounts or violates the discount-plan law, a harmed member can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license, so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

C.G.S. 38a-479rr (Insurance Department)Connecticut General Statutes 38a-479rr et seq. require a discount medical plan organization to be licensed by the Insurance Department and to demonstrate financial security — generally a net worth of at least $250,000 or a $100,000 surety bond. Confirm the exact figure on your licensing letter; we issue the amount the department names.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Connecticut medical discount plan bond?The premium is priced at 2% of the bond amount, subject to a $100 minimum — the bond is commonly $100,000 as set by your license. Enter the figure your licensing letter names to see your exact price at the application.
Do I always need the bond?Not necessarily. C.G.S. 38a-479rr lets a discount medical plan organization meet the financial-security requirement either by maintaining a net worth of at least $250,000 or by filing a $100,000 surety bond. Many organizations choose the bond because it ties up far less cash.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs on a larger amount, it is a soft pull only — it never affects your credit score.
Who is protected by the bond?The state and your members. If the organization fails to deliver the promised discounts or violates Connecticut discount-plan law, a harmed member can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, so your filing never lapses over a missed email.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
