The County of Montgomery is seeking qualified organizations to provide Third Party Administrative (TPA) services for their self-insured commercial liability program. The TPA will be responsible for claims management, providing monthly loss runs and other claims information, and producing semi-annual narratives on the status of claims with reserves estimated to exceed $50,000. The County is looking for a cooperative effort between the Risk Manager, the Solicitors Office, and the TPA to manage claims. Key points to consider:
• The County controls costs by aggressively managing claims
• The TPA must have consultative expertise to assist with risk management issues
• The County is seeking a TPA that can provide reasonable and competent service in processing every claim presented
• A pre-proposal conference was held on August 24, 2015, to discuss any questions with the County
• The solicitation did not result in an award, and a new RFP will be issued in early 2016.
