What is the Oregon Dental Service or Optometrical Service Bond?
The Oregon Revised Statutes 750.005 to 750.095 requires health service contractors, such as dental or optometrical service providers, to file for a surety bond as authorized by the Insurance Code or in the amount of $50,000.
The service bond serves as an agreement between the dental and optometrical healthcare service providers and the State of Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services that guarantees the compensation of the state in case of licensing infractions such as damages or accidents. The bond also works as a pre-licensing requirement for the businesses to have their licenses activated and operations ready.
How does it work?
The Oregon Dental Service or Optometrical Service Bond must be issued by a surety bond provider certified by the Oregon Department of Insurance. The parties in the agreement are the Principal (dental or optometrical service providers), Obligee (Dept. of Consumer and Business Services), and Surety/Bond Company or Obligor (surety bond provider or insurance).
The Obligor will guarantee the compensation (performance bond) of the Obligee should the Principal fail to meet scheduled taxes and fees or violate any other licensing provisions. The Obligor will receive and assess the validity of all public claims where claims may only amount to the total penal sum arranged in the bond form. The Principal shall reimburse all expenses covered by the Obligor.
The Obligor is secured through an indemnity agreement as the permit applicant or licensed business will ensure the full reimbursement of the claims, including legal fees and premiums. This agreement shall be made before the execution of the bond.
How much does it cost?
Depending on the employer’s credit score, industry experience, business history, and the surety provider’s background, the Oregon Dental Service or Optometrical Service Bonds may cost between $500 and $5,000.
