An Illinois third party prescription program administrator must either keep reimbursement funds in a separate fiduciary account or post a bond of indemnity with the Department of Insurance — generally at least 10% of estimated annual reimbursement. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; your exact price appears at the application, and a soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score.
















Your registration is waiting on this bond. Here is the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, the bond amount your registration requires, and the effective date — plus a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed indemnity bond, ready to file with the Director of Insurance for your registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
Illinois regulates third party prescription programs — programs that reimburse pharmacies for prescriptions on behalf of a plan — under Article XXXI½ of the Insurance Code (215 ILCS 5), the Third Party Prescription Program Act. Programs and their administrators must register with the Director of Insurance.
An administrator must either maintain a separate fiduciary account for receipt and disbursement of reimbursement funds, or post a bond of indemnity in an amount not less than 10% of the total estimated annual reimbursement. The bond is held by the Director for the benefit and indemnification of the providers — the pharmacies — served by the program.
Because the bond figure depends on your reimbursement volume, the amount is whatever your registration requires. Enter that figure and your price — 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum — appears at the application. A soft credit check may apply; it never affects your score.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
