Everything You Need to Know About TPAs

Since 1997, ABS has been helping clients affordably manage their healthcare costs through third-party administration services. What is a third-party administrator (TPA)? In the Health Insurance Industry, a TPA is an organization that processes insurance claims or certain parts of employee benefit plans for a separate entity. For ABS, as a third-party administrator, we work closely with our clients to help them manage their benefit plans. We are able to manage the day-to-day for them so they can focus on their business. Here are some other services we offer as TPAs: 

Services We Offer as a TPA 

  • Cost Containment: Our proprietary cost containment system targets savings in provider up-coding and unbundling, subrogation opportunities, alternative network savings, hospital credit balances, inaccuracies, and fraud.
  • Dedicated Client Services Team: Our dedicated team provides plan reporting, assists in enrollment and employee meetings, handles group paperwork and amendments, ensures client compliance, and acts as a liaison on client claim issues.
