The Critical Role of Claims for Third-Party Administrators (TPAs)

Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) are responsible for processing and administering claims in a timely, efficient, and accurate manner, but traditional methods can be complex, time-consuming, and prone to errors. For instance, it can take weeks or even months to resolve a claim, which can be frustrating for clients and costly for TPAs. Moreover, manual intervention can lead to errors, delays, and inefficiencies, hindering TPAs’ ability to provide high-quality service and meet the evolving needs of clients.

Therefore, TPAs need a modern and streamlined claims management system that automates processes, reduces costs, and enables efficient and accurate claims resolution to ensure the financial stability and success of TPAs and their clients.

Key Challenges of TPAs’ Claims Management

Onboarding New Clients

TPAs need to onboard clients efficiently and start delivering value as quickly as possible. Traditional onboarding processes can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, often requiring manual processes and extensive communication with clients.

Efficient and Accurate Claims Processing

Due to the complex nature of claims, claims management processes can be labor-intensive, error-prone, and time-consuming, leading to delays, increased costs, and reduced customer satisfaction. Additionally, claims management requires a high degree of accuracy, as errors or inconsistencies can result in legal disputes, reputational damage, and financial losses.

Effective Communication

TPAs need to communicate with clients across multiple channels, such as email, phone, and messaging, while keeping track of all communication and client interactions. Managing communication across these different channels can be time-consuming and challenging, and it can be difficult to ensure that all communication is captured and tracked in a way that is easily accessible and actionable. Failure to effectively communicate with clients can lead to dissatisfaction, delays, and increased costs, all of which can negatively impact the TPA’s reputation and business outcomes.

Customized Claims Management Workflows

Traditional claims management solutions often require extensive customization and coding to create workflows that meet the unique needs of each carrier, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.

Training New Adjusters

Adjuster onboarding processes in TPAs’ claims departments can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, often requiring extensive training and technical knowledge. This can lead to delays in delivering value to clients, reduced productivity, and increased costs for TPAs.

Tracking Clients’ Operations

Conventional methods like spreadsheets can be labor-intensive, prone to errors, and cannot provide real-time insights.
