What is the purpose of the New Jersey health care service firm bond?

New Jersey Administrative Code 13:45B-13.3 requires individuals file a $10,000 bond amount as part of the state's health care firm registration process. State form RBS/HCSF (R-5/10) is simply titled “Surety Bond” but is more commonly known as the “health care service firm bond.” This bond requirement ensures health care service firms fulfill all service or product contracts and do not file for bankruptcy. 

Why do New Jersey health care firms need to be bonded? 

If a health care service firm fails to fulfill their service or product contracts or files for bankruptcy, individuals who experience financial loss as a result can file claims against the bond. The health care firm's issuing surety company will pay valid claims up to the full $10,000 bond amount, which the bonded health care firm must reimburse in full. 

Who regulates licensing for health care service firms?
