Why The TPA License Renewal Compliance Is Important

By Eloise Hewitt


Currently, about forty four states have a requirement for third party licensing. Many companies consider state licensing and renewal regulations as complex. They hence opt for consulting services in order to obtain their licenses rather fast and efficient. Some states, particularly those without a TPA licensing requirement, have corporate adjuster compliance. Although there are similarities, each states TPA license renewal compliance is different.

Some information is often required by many states as a whole. It is therefore important to obtain a specific checklist concerning the state in which you intend to be licensed or renewed. The checklist and license guidelines save time that could otherwise be wasted in compiling unnecessary information and documents. Some of which may not be needed, according to your states of interest.

The commissioner of commerce is the ultimate assessor as to who is eligible for the registration. The commissioner, upon application, satisfies whether the administrator is able to offer deliver third party administration or not. This is particularly based on the financial position of the administrator, that is, should be solved. The ability to process claims in timely and equitably is also a vital factor.

The conduct of the administrator in the previous periods also matters. For registration, the administrator is required by law to maintain a file of the dealings with clients. If such record is not satisfactory, then the application stands a chance of being scraped. The report illustrates the kind of services the administrator served to his clients within the period.

The files are detailed in a yearly activity report prepared in the course of last 60 days in the year concerned. It spells out the details of clients administered by the licensee in the state within the period. The specific information includes the names and addresses of the clients, together with the kind of service administered. All these are embodied in a letter that bears the company name dated accordingly.

The administrative incense shall be deemed to operate for a period of not more than 12 months. This starts immediately upon renewal. In many states, the reinstatement entails filing and submitting the following documents; an application form, bond continuation form, certificate of TPA licensing in home state, a list showing names and the address of individuals permitted to act at as agents. In case of any administrative action against you by any state, it is required that you append a copy of the same application.

Sometimes the home state may not exercise third party licensing. In this case, it is prudent to just indicate the state concerned and provide evidence that it is indeed licensed. It is also important to evidence the renewal of a bond. This is often the case with when presenting the continuation certificate for bonds. Changes in bonds should also be reflected through attaching a copy of the new state.

Just like any other application, there is a renewal fee. The fee is simply 100 dollars for every license. Ensure to fill the application form accurately and openly. Fill all the fields and attach all the relevant documentation. Also provide the name, a contact of a reliable person in case of any communication. Remember to append your signature on the application form.
