The Texas Department of State Health Services requires the Texas Subscription Program Bond. Emergency Medical Service Providers must have the Texas Subscription Program Bond. The amount of the bond is set at $50,000. The Texas Subscription Program Bond states that the bondholder will faithfully create and operate the subscription program. In the event of the bond holder’s cessation of business, the bondholder will return all unused or unearned subscription fees or dues to subscribers in accordance with the Emergency Medical Services Act.

The Texas Subscription Program Bond’s purpose is to protect the public from financial harm done to them by your company. It ensures your company properly compensates those it wrongs. This bond is not insurance for your company. It serves as a form of consumer protection.
