Indiana Patient Trust Funds Bond
Overview
Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other long-term care providers in Indiana that hold money on behalf of residents are required to carry this bond. It protects residents' personal funds — money entrusted to the facility for safekeeping — against mismanagement or misappropriation. Indiana's statewide regulatory framework for healthcare facilities mandates this coverage as a condition of operation. If your facility manages patient trust accounts, this bond is not optional.
Who Needs This Bond?
You're running a licensed long-term care or residential healthcare facility in Indiana that holds personal funds for residents. Any Indiana facility that accepts and manages money deposited by patients or residents on their behalf must secure this bond. That includes skilled nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, and similar operations subject to Indiana's health facility licensing requirements. If your facility touches resident funds, the state expects this bond to be in place.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect the personal funds of patients and residents held in trust by a healthcare facility. If a facility misuses, loses, or misappropriates those funds, the bond provides a financial remedy for affected residents. Indiana regulators use this bond to hold facilities accountable for the money residents can no longer manage themselves. It is a direct safeguard for some of the most financially vulnerable people in the state.
When is it Required?
Before your facility can operate legally in Indiana with patient trust fund responsibilities, this bond must already be secured and on file. It is not something you obtain after receiving a license — it is part of what gets you there. Indiana health facility regulators expect proof of bonding as part of the licensing or renewal process. Do not schedule an inspection or submit a license application without this bond ready to present.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Indiana and is governed by Indiana's health facility regulatory requirements. It is not a city or county requirement — it applies uniformly to qualifying facilities throughout the state. Any Indiana-licensed facility that manages patient trust funds falls under the same statewide obligation.
