The purpose of this RFP is to provide prospective Third-Party Administrators (TPA) with information that will enable them to prepare and submit a proposal for third party administration services for Jefferson County’s self-insured workers’ compensation program.
Jefferson County will examine the responses to this RFP and award a service agreement that will include the transition of all existing WC claims and the handling of all new claims beginning on July 1, 2025. RFP submissions should include, as appropriate, responses for both life of claim and life of service agreement options.
This RFP provides detailed program requirements. Each TPA must address these program requirements in their proposal submission. In addition, there is an executive summary section of the RFP that provides an opportunity for the TPA to expound and give further details on why their company is best qualified to perform the services.
Jefferson County is looking to establish a partnership with a TPA that will result in the delivery of objective and measurable results, reduce the cost and duration of WC claims, provide claim processing in a timely and professional manner, actively pursue subrogation, assist in returning injured employees back to work and maintain strong communications with the injured worker and Jefferson County.
