SPBA - Society of Professional Benefit Administrators

Government Relations ServicesMaryland, United States11-50 Employees

Formed in 1975, SPBA serves as an educational resource for third party administrator (TPA) firms who manage a wide range of self-funded health plans and service partners who provide TPA-related services.

We help TPAs navigate the ever-changing employee benefits landscape and stay informed about the latest regulatory developments that impact it.

It is estimated that more than 60% of all non-federal U.S. workers and their dependents are now covered by benefit plans administered through TPAs. SPBA members are among these TPAs as they offer self-funding solutions to employers in all industries and professions with custom-designed plans for small businesses and large corporations to unions, state and local governments and religious groups.

In the last 40+ years, SPBA has evolved into a highly regarded national association known for:
- Offering in-depth explanations and insights on industry trends and government rules related to employee benefits
- Maintaining candid relationships with regulators
- Acting as a sounding board for agency officials
- Promoting practical regulatory solutions
- Advocating on behalf of TPAs

SPBA works with the largest and broadest cross-section of the employee benefits community and is often sought after by policy shapers/makers looking to understand how different approaches would affect benefit plans and participants. 

Along with TPA members, SPBA welcomes stop-loss insurance carriers, managing general underwriters and re-insurers to join as service partners.
