About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the PPP administrator bond actually covers

Illinois regulates Preferred Provider Programs — networks that steer covered members to contracted providers — under the preferred-provider provisions of the Illinois Insurance Code (215 ILCS 5) and the Department of Insurance’s rules at 50 Ill. Adm. Code 2051. An entity that administers such a program registers with the Department.

As part of registration, a PPP administrator files a surety bond running to the Department of Insurance as obligee. The bond backs the administrator’s obligations under the program — for example, that funds it handles on behalf of the program and its participants are accounted for and that it complies with the preferred-provider rules.

It is not insurance for the administrator — if the surety pays a claim, the administrator repays the surety. The Department sets the required amount; we price that figure with premiums starting from $100 and no credit information collected in the application. Confirm the amount on your registration paperwork before filing.
