The Michigan Self Insurers Claims Transfer Agreement (MSI CTA) is an agreement between self-insured employers in the state of Michigan and their third-party administrator (TPA). It allows employers to transfer their workers' compensation claims to an approved TPA and allows the TPA to manage the claims on behalf of the employer. The agreement is designed to protect employers from costly and time-consuming litigation and to ensure that the claims are handled in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The MSI CTA outlines the responsibilities of both the employer and the TPA, and requires the TPA to provide certain services to the employer, including: administering claims; maintaining accurate and complete records; providing timely and accurate claim payments; and ensuring that the claims are handled in a timely and appropriate manner. The agreement also outlines the steps that must be taken in order to transfer claims from the employer to the TPA, and sets forth the procedures that must be followed in order to ensure that the claims are handled properly. The MSI CTA has two main types: the Michigan Self Insurers Claims Transfer Agreement (MSI CTA) for employers with fewer than 500 employees, and the Michigan Self Insurers Claims Transfer Agreement (MSI CTA) for employers with more than 500 employees.
