Working with Insurers and TPAs
Nadia Martyn, Delta Dental of Minnesota; Deb Shoemaker, PreferredOne and Melinda Maher, Dorsey & Whitney LLP 

Group health plans are complex and subject to numerous federal and state laws.  The insurer or third party administrator (TPA) takes care of many aspects of the plan’s operation.  This session was designed to provide a better understanding of the work done by insurers and TPAS and to help employers work with them.  The session did not address specific questions or concerns, but rather to help employers understand the work done by insurers and TPAs – their role in the health care system and how employers can work most effectively with them.
