The Texas TPA Contract Review Checklist is a list of items to consider when reviewing a third-party administrator (TPA) contract. It is designed to provide guidance to employers, TPAs, and legal counsel when considering the terms and provisions of a TPA contract in Texas. The items on the Texas TPA Contract Review Checklist are grouped into categories, including: General Provisions, Claims Administration, Fee Structure, and Regulatory Requirements. The checklist covers many key aspects of a TPA contract, such as the scope of services, dispute resolution, the handling of appeals, data privacy, and compliance with the Texas Insurance Code. The Texas TPA Contract Review Checklist is available in two versions: one for employers and one for TPAs. The employers’ version of the checklist is intended to help employers develop a clear understanding of the services and expectations that the TPA will provide and the fees that will be charged. The TPA version of the checklist is intended to help TPAs understand the duties they are expected to fulfill and the legal requirements they must comply with when administering the plan. By using the Texas TPA Contract Review Checklist, employers and TPAs can ensure that their TPA contract meets all legal requirements and provides an effective framework for administering the plan.
