About us
The Health Care Administrators Association is the nation’s most prominent nonprofit trade association supporting education, networking, resource and advocacy needs of third-party administrators (TPAs), stop loss insurance carriers, managing general underwriters, audit firms, medical managers, technology organizations, pharmacy benefit managers, brokers/agents, human resource managers and health care consultants. For over 35 years, HCAA has taken a leadership role in transforming the self-funding industry, and increasing the importance of self-funding as an important alternative in the health care delivery systems of our country. HCAA holds two conferences each year to gather the membership to talk about strategic and timely issues affecting them. Each conference is designed to both educate and to bring members together to network and to share ideas that will move both their companies, and the industry, forward.
