A Certificate of Liability Insurance must be provided to the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS):

• When applying for a new PPO license
• Each time the insurance policy is renewed
• Whenever you change insurance carriers
• Whenever requested by BSIS

Certificates should be submitted electronically by your insurance company or broker whenever possible. If mailing, send to:

Bureau of Security and Investigative Services
P.O. Box 989002
West Sacramento, CA 95798

The Certificate of Liability Insurance must include:

• The legal name of the PPO company (matching the BSIS license)
• PPO license number (not required for initial applicants)
• Insurance policy number
• Policy effective and expiration dates
• Minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence
