The Challenge
A growing Third-Party Administrator (TPA) sought Penstock’s expertise to navigate state licensure requirements as it prepared to enter a new state market. Facing a tight timeline, the TPA needed swift approval to support its expansion and avoid delays or financial penalties that could affect its reputation and growth.
Penstock’s Approach
Penstock began with a thorough assessment of Arizona’s TPA licensure requirements, reaching out to state regulators to confirm timelines and specific compliance needs. Weekly calls with the TPA and targeted “Requests for Information” ensured that all necessary documentation, including sensitive personal and financial data, was accurately prepared and submitted.
Leveraging the ClearFile platform, all information was centralized to streamline the filing process, managing each step from document organization to deadline tracking. The team also worked closely with state authorities to clarify financial surety requirements, adjusting as needed to meet regulatory expectations.
