TPAs and Voluntary Products

Third-party administrators (TPAs) and business process outsourcers (BPOs) are becoming key players in the employee benefits field, including the voluntary benefits marketplace. Much of this has been driven by the demand from carriers--and employers--wanting to outsource back office processes. The objective of Eastridge Consulting Group's latest report, TPAs and Voluntary Products, is to look at the landscape of the TPA/BPO market as it pertains to voluntary benefits.

The report begins with a general overview of the administrators surveyed (markets, revenues, customer segments, business lines offered, sales process, competitive differentiators, etc.). Then it closely examines the voluntary services/ capabilities for each TPA/BPO, including:

  • Enrollment
  • List billing
  • Individual record keeping
  • Technology data exchange
  • Employer/employee services
  • Self-service
  • Reporting

The report also examines the TPA marketplace in terms of competition and future trends.

Order Info: The report is available for purchase for just $1,000. To order your copy, simply email us at info@eastbridge.com or call (860) 676-9633. Published 2006
