Health Care Administration Services

TIC is a Third Party Administrator (TPA) of health care plans which means we handle the daily operation of these plans.  We are appropriately certified and licensed in all states where our clients reside.

Third party administration is particularly desirable for health care plans because the third party is independent, impartial and objective in the interpretation and execution of plan provisions.  With third party administration it is easier to implement managed care and cost containment measures, and total operational costs are usually less.  TIC has designed and implemented its own sophisticated computer programs to help maintain efficiency, accuracy and control.

Health Care Administration Services Include:

       Collecting and processing all plan data
       Determining participant eligibility for benefits
       Calculating amounts of health care reimbursement
       Printing and mailing benefit checks
       Explaining plan benefits and claim filing procedures to participants
       Helping participants exercise all rights under the plan
       Preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports
       Implementing all COBRA plan provisions
       Keeping all files, documents, minutes of meetings, correspondence, insurance forms, government filings, etc.
       Working with health care providers to create efficient and accurate record keeping
       Maintaining a payroll auditing program for our multiemployer clients
       Designing and producing quarterly or semi-annual participant newsletters customized for each individual plan
