Why Choose Us?
Top Questions Answered
Our most common questions answered efficiently.
Are PBM bonds federal or state-regulated?
PBM bonds are state-regulated, not federal. Each state that requires a PBM bond sets its own bond amount and requirements.
Do all states require PBM bonds?
No — only certain states mandate a PBM bond, including Georgia, Kentucky, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
How long does it take to get a PBM bond?
Approvals are fast, with digital delivery available for immediate filing with your state insurance or regulatory department.
Can one PBM bond cover multiple states?
No — each state that requires a PBM bond has its own statutory requirements, so a separate bond is typically needed for each regulated state you operate in.
Does the bond protect the PBM?
No — the bond protects pharmacies, insurers, and consumers from financial loss caused by the PBM's non-compliance, not the PBM itself.
