Many self-insured employers choose to outsource their workers' compensation claims handling to a Third-Party Administrator (TPA) instead of creating their own internal operation.

When making this decision, self-insured employers must consider certain criteria to best evaluate and select a TPA that will partner with them to provide the best claims outcomes. There are several effective fact-finding questions to ask the TPA during the evaluation process that can help determine which company is the best fit for their organization.
