TPAA Retains Administered Risk Management Services Inc.

Atlanta, GA, - The Third Party Administrator Alliance—known as the TPAA—recently retained the services of Orlando-based ARMS, Inc. to create new cost saving alliances for its member TPAs.

The ARMS, Inc. team has been tasked with leveraging TPAA’s buying power to develop fresh partnerships and opportunities for TPAA members that may otherwise not be made available.

Brokers and consultants already find TPAA partner programs competitive, so the prospect of delivering further enhancements is indeed exciting. “Our challenge is to create new opportunities that enable small to mid-sized TPAs to compete with the large carriers that have dominated ASO services,” says Jennifer Kingsley-Wilson, President of ARMS, Inc. “We plan to take an out-of-the-box approach to provide progressive and distinctive solutions exclusive to TPAA members.”

Since its inception in 1991, ARMS provides employee benefit consulting with expertise gained from working with preferred provider organizations, pharmacy benefit managers, self-funded employers and brokers. “We’re pleased to be a part of this exciting, one-of-a-kind alliance,” remarks Jennifer.

The TPAA is an alliance of the nation’s top, independently owned third party administrators. It was founded to drive business to member TPAs and supply them with aggressive lead-generation programs and superior marketing tools. In addition, members enjoy discounts provided by TPAA-selected partners in stop-loss insurance, PPO networks, pharmacy benefits management, medical management, out-of-network repricing, plan design, debit/smart cards, subrogation, fraud and more. The TPAA is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
