The TAA advises health insurers and health care benefit managers that any health care benefit managers they use must be registered with the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) to conduct business in Washington state. The legislature passed a law in 2020 requiring health care benefit managers to be registered with the state because these companies make decisions that impact whether consumers can access needed care and whether health care providers will be paid for their services. Additionally, health insurers must submit direct and indirect contracts for health care benefit management services performed by these organizations.
