The TPA business is at a crossroads.
Administrators everywhere are under pressure to grow but it’s increasingly
difficult to compete against the large insurers and national TPAs, who
continue to consolidate our industry and put
us in a difficult competitive
position. Industry executives across the country
are experiencing the same
issues:
- It’s a struggle to keep the business
that TPAs have because of price competition and the need to offer more
services;
- Introduction of new technologies and
products is necessary in order to compete, but they’re often cost
prohibitive;
- The TPA business carries awfully low
margins and it’s tough to make a
profit in this business. Everyone needs
to figure out ways to keep costs down and efficiencies up;
- The rise in enrollment for Consumer
Driven Health Plans continues at a
torrid pace. If a TPA isn’t offering
such services and expertise today, they are already being left behind;
- More sophisticated cost control and
medical risk management programs
are being offered as part of the
overall package of services sold by large, national TPAs and insurance
carriers. Today’s TPA must absolutely have these types of programs
available or clients will leave and new sales will
dry up;
- Clients of small and mid-size TPAs
(and the brokers selling for them) are being targeted by the big
carriers and administrators across the country
as easy pickings. There
needs to be a way for them to compete. Now.
In an increasingly difficult market,
TPAs must give themselves the best opportunity to keep costs low,
maintain profitability, expand market
share and stave off competition.
