What Third-Party Administrators Can Do for Employers
A Comprehensive Approach
A third-party administrator (TPA) is an organization that processes insurance claims or certain aspects of employee benefits plans for a separate entity. Instead of working with a traditional carrier, a TPA is a good option for employers who:
- Want more control designing and executing their health plan
- Have a stable workforce that allows predictible modeling with their plan, year after year
- Have specific goals for their employees’ health care management that are unique to their organization, not met by a traditional model
- Need benefit options that are difficult to administer through a traditional carrier model, such as:
- Elaborate billing/group arrangements
- Ability to omit specific programs altogether (ex. Wellness)
- Purchasing on a spectrum, with no opt-in or opt-out of select benefits
- Specific network requirements, like an on-site clinic or hospital network
- Want more flexibility and customization, such as:
- Consolidated experience across multiple vendors
- Speed to market – implementing and changing benefits quickly
