The Importance Of TPA License Renewal Compliance

By Eloise Hewitt


Not all states have requirements for third party administrator requirements. The number of states with requirements is barely forty four. Organizations consider the licensing and renewal laws quite cumbersome and uncalled for. They entrust such processes to consultants who ease the burden for them. Corporate adjuster regulations are in force for many states without such requirements. The procedure and documentation may appear the same, but there exists slight variations across states as far as the TPA license renewal compliance is concerned.

Knowledge of information required for the process is important. To enhance the process, it is advisable to have insights on the information and the documents required for the exercise before embarking on it. This immensely saves the time and the effort of acquiring the license and the subsequent renewals. The compliance is defined by the regulation in play in your state.

The licensing of third party administration is satisfied by the commissioner of commerce. It can only be granted upon satisfying that the applicant is in a position to discharge PTA services. In addition, the administrator must be financially sound and able to process claims within the time and equitably.

The conduct of the administrator in the previous periods also matters. For registration, the administrator is required by law to maintain a file of the dealings with clients. If such record is not satisfactory, then the application stands a chance of being scraped. The report illustrates the kind of services the administrator served to his clients within the period.

The required reports are embodied in an annual activity report that is filed within the last sixty days of the year. The report states the name and physical address of the clients that the licensee administered in the state during the previous year. Also, the area and the type of service performed to each plan and the commencing and termination dates each client was served. It is presented in the form of a letter bearing the company name and date on it.

The administrative incense shall be deemed to operate for a period of not more than 12 months. This starts immediately upon renewal. In many states, the reinstatement entails filing and submitting the following documents; an application form, bond continuation form, certificate of TPA licensing in home state, a list showing names and the address of individuals permitted to act at as agents. In case of any administrative action against you by any state, it is required that you append a copy of the same application.

Where required to prove third party licensure when home state has no certification, just mention the state and provide evidence that it is in fact licensed there. Bond continuation certifies bond renewal. It is necessary to renew bond before applying for reinstatement. In case of changes in bond, evidence the change by attaching a copy.

When submitting the application form, remember to carry along with you the necessary fee. The fee is paid by every applicant and it is often 100 dollars per application. Observe the necessary instructions when making the application.
