We help single employers control rising costs.
Employers everywhere are genuinely concerned about the well being of their employees.
However, the rising cost of health care often makes it necessary for employers to take
an aggressive approach to managing health benefit programs. One approach is self-funding.
NWA offers a variety of services to employers interested in exploring this option.
Single Employer Plans: Claims Administration
From its earliest days, NWA has been an unrivaled expert in claims
administration of self-funded plans. Our administrative processes are streamlined and
developed to meet each client's specific needs. Audits of our performance standards prove
that our claims financial and procedural accuracy exceed industry standards.
Employers typically look to a Third Party Administrator for claims
payment services when their health plans are self-funded. NWA provides complete Claims
Administration services for these employers.
Single Employer Plans: Customized Insurance Premium Reporting
When NWA is not the claims payor for the Employer, the eligibility
data is transferred to their insurance carrier(s) or managed care provider(s). This complex function
is accurately and cost-effectively performed with our customizable administrative system, which
accommodates HIPAA compliant Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), host-to-host transfer, paper or
Internet communications.
Single Employer Plans: Retiree Plan Administration
NWA provides a high level of service to those Employers that sponsor
Retiree Medical programs. We also provide a high level of customer support to the individual
retiree and assist each one to:
- Set up individual medical benefit accounts
- Arrange individualized payment methods, including electronic funds transfer
- Answer questions by phone or in-person at our Claims Service Center
We coordinate their retiree program with benefits that may be
available under COBRA or from Medicare, and continue to provide assistance when retirees move
out of the area.
Single Employer Plans: Online Billing
NWA's eligibility system provides for direct
online real-time updates for all changes made within the database.
Employers have online access for billing updates and online enrollment options are provided
for participants and the Employer through a Microsoft® Passport secured web portal.
