Connecticut Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM) Bond
Overview
Connecticut requires Pharmacy Benefits Managers to carry a surety bond as a condition of state licensure. This bond protects health plan members, insurers, and the state from financial harm caused by a PBM's failure to meet its legal and contractual obligations. If your organization manages pharmacy benefits for Connecticut residents, this bond is not optional — it is a prerequisite to operating lawfully in the state.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your company has applied for or holds a Pharmacy Benefits Manager license in Connecticut and has been told a surety bond is required. Any entity acting as a PBM in Connecticut — negotiating drug pricing, processing pharmacy claims, or managing formularies on behalf of health plans — must secure this bond before the state will issue or renew that license. This applies whether you are a standalone PBM or a subsidiary operating within a larger managed care structure.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that your organization will comply with Connecticut's laws governing Pharmacy Benefits Managers, including proper handling of rebates, accurate claims processing, and fair dealings with pharmacies and plan members. If your PBM causes verified financial harm through non-compliance or misconduct, an injured party can make a claim against the bond for recovery. The bond is not liability insurance — it is a financial guarantee backing your legal obligations to the state.
When is it Required?
Before Connecticut will grant or renew a PBM license, the bond must already be in place and submitted with your application. Do not wait until you are ready to begin operations to secure it — the bond is a filing requirement, not an afterthought. If you are renewing an existing license, confirm your bond is active and properly maintained ahead of any renewal deadline.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide requirement issued under Connecticut's jurisdiction. It covers PBM activity conducted within Connecticut, regardless of where your company is headquartered. Out-of-state PBMs serving Connecticut health plans are subject to the same bonding requirement as in-state operators.
