Webb County is requesting proposals for Third Party Claims Administration services (TPA), Preferred Provider Network (PPO), Stop Loss Insurance, and Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) and Self-Funded Dental Plan Administration. The current service provider is The Texas Association of Counties (TAC) through an Interlocal participating agreement. All proposed offers will be evaluated and awarded independent of the each other to best serve the interest of the Webb County. Proposals with Wellness Programs and Employee Assistance Programs submitted as options will also be considered along with TPA services or independently.
Webb County reserves the right to award the subjects of the proposal, in whole or in part, to those proposers who demonstrate professional competence in submitting proposals that satisfy cost, coverage, and servicing criteria. Proposals will be carefully evaluated in terms of cost effectiveness and coverage, and for compliance with insurance regulations, network capabilities, and servicing criteria as contained in the specifications. The insured will consider the merits of each proposal, whether in consolidated or fragmented basis. Award will be made to the proposer submitting the lowest, best, and most responsible proposal. The selection of a proposal for Third Party Administration Services will be made after careful evaluation of the proposals received. Each proposal will be evaluated for acceptability, with emphasis on the various factors enumerated in the table outlined below. Each factor is assigned a numerical score. The scores will be used to develop a list of potential providers with whom negotiations may be conducted.
