Why Brokers Are Reconsidering Their Health Plan Partners

You may have heard of a current trend in the healthcare industry. This trend involves mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of third-party administrators (TPAs), and it’s affecting brokers and their clients now more than ever. Service disruptions like key contact turnover, slower response times, priority shifts, and increased costs are common issues that can arise from these ownership shifts.

That’s why you need a third-party administrator (TPA) you can count on, especially as M&A activity continues to shake up the self-funded health plan market. If your current partner feels uncertain, it may be time to consider a smarter solution.
