Oregon Patient Trust Funds Bond
Overview
Oregon healthcare facilities that hold or manage money on behalf of residents or patients are required to carry a Patient Trust Funds Bond before handling those funds. This statewide surety bond protects patients whose personal funds are entrusted to a facility's care — covering losses caused by mismanagement, misappropriation, or failure to account. Oregon regulators use this bond as a financial safeguard that runs alongside your facility's license. If you've been told you need it, you need it before you can operate.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been informed that your Oregon facility must post a Patient Trust Funds Bond as a condition of your license or continued operation. This requirement typically applies to nursing homes, residential care facilities, assisted living facilities, and similar Oregon healthcare providers that accept and manage patient or resident personal funds. If your facility holds money in trust for the people in your care — even small amounts for personal needs — this bond is likely required of you. It is a statewide obligation enforced by Oregon's health facility licensing authority.
What is this Bond For?
Patients and residents in Oregon care facilities sometimes entrust their personal funds to that facility for safekeeping or daily expenses. This bond guarantees that those funds are properly held, accounted for, and returned or used as intended. If your facility misappropriates, mismanages, or fails to properly account for patient trust funds, the bond provides a financial remedy for the harmed patient or their estate. It is not liability insurance — it is a surety obligation that holds your facility financially accountable for how you handle money that belongs to the people in your care.
When is it Required?
Before your Oregon health facility license is issued or renewed, the bond must already be in place. Regulators will not approve your application or allow continued operation without documented proof of this bond. Do not wait until your renewal deadline — lapses in bond coverage can trigger regulatory action against your facility license. Secure the bond first, then submit your proof to the licensing authority along with your other required documents.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Oregon requirement with no local jurisdiction variations. It applies to any covered healthcare or residential care facility operating anywhere in Oregon that is licensed to hold patient or resident trust funds. The obligation runs to the State of Oregon and to the patients or residents whose funds you manage.
