About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the patient trust fund bond covers

When a Michigan nursing home holds a resident's spending money or other property in trust, the Public Health Code requires those funds to be kept separate from the home's own money and disbursed only as the patient directs. To back that obligation, the owner or governing body must give a bond before the license is issued or renewed.

The bond is filed with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) in the form and amount the department approves. Michigan rules set a minimum bond amount and tie it to the average balance of the patient trust fund over the preceding twelve months, so the security scales with the money you actually hold.

If a home misuses or fails to account for patient trust money, harmed patients can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the home repays the surety. The surety can cancel on 60 days' written notice to the LARA director. We issue whatever amount your facility requires, with pricing from $100; the application collects no credit information and most applications approve instantly.

MCL 333.21721 & 333.21767 (Public Health Code)Under the Michigan Public Health Code, a nursing home must keep patient trust money separate from its own funds (MCL 333.21767) and, before its license is issued or renewed, give a bond with surety approved by LARA (MCL 333.21721). Michigan administrative rules (R 325.45383) set a minimum bond and tie the amount to the average patient-trust-fund balance over the preceding 12 months. Confirm your required amount with LARA.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Michigan patient trust fund bond?Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum — not a credit or underwriting tier. The bond amount itself is set by Michigan rule, scaled to the average balance of your patient trust fund over the preceding 12 months. Enter that figure at the application and your exact price appears.
Why does Michigan require it?The Public Health Code requires a nursing home to keep patient trust money separate from its own funds and to give a bond before licensure or renewal, so residents' money is protected if the home misuses or fails to account for it.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your credit score.
How do I figure out my bond amount?Michigan rules set a minimum and tie the amount to the average balance of your patient trust fund over the preceding 12 months. If you are not sure, LARA or your survey contact can confirm the figure — send it to us and we issue at that amount.
Can the bond be cancelled?The surety can cancel by giving 60 days' written notice to the LARA director, and the bond can be released by the director. We track the bond and send renewal notices so your license stays in good standing.
