Claims
Some members outsource all or part of their WCRA reporting responsibilities to a third-party administrator (TPA). When a Member contracts with a TPA to perform some or all of its business responsibilities with the WCRA, it is ultimately the Member’s responsibility to ensure that the TPA is reporting properly and timely to the WCRA. Members contracting with TPAs to work with the WCRA are required to submit to the WCRA a completed WCRA TPA Authorization Agreement. The agreement notifies the WCRA that a TPA is authorized to receive information and correspond with the WCRA on behalf of a Member. The authorization also provides indemnification for the WCRA by a Member for any legal action that may arise out of or in connection with any violation of the Agreement by the TPA or its employees. The form is available upon request.
