We partner with consultants and brokers Right Choice Benefit Administrators markets their products primarily through consultants and brokers. Working with you to meet your clients’ needs, we will assist in developing a coordinated plan inclusive of administration services, reinsurance, and managed care networks. We also have favorable relationships with a number of Pharmacy Benefit Managers, as well as Case Management and Disease Management providers. As a part of WellPoint, Inc., we can draw on the resources of the WellPoint companies that provides the health care benefits for one in every eight Americans. One example: WellPoint staff attorneys who specialize in IRS regulations for self-funded plans or COBRA and HIPAA regulations or changes in state-specific insurance coverage regulations are here to advise us. Another example: WellPoint-affiliated TPAs in other states exchange with us practical information on improving service to self-funded plans. As a truly independent or non-captive TPA, we bring to each client a wide variety of products and multiple vendors in each product line – reinsurers, networks, PBMs, vision plans, case management, subrogation, ancillaries, etc. We help clients select products and vendors that best meet the client’s needs and price considerations … not the TPA’s needs. RightCHOICE does not (as our competitors may) promote a parent company’s PBM, for instance, or steer clients toward an in-house wellness program. We are free to transparently help clients select the best options. If you are interested in obtaining a quote, or simply want more information, we welcome your inquiry.

Our history Our company was created in 1996, through the merger of two of the Midwest's most successful TPAs: LaHood & Associates, Inc., in Overland Park, Kansas (founded 1977; acquired by BCBSKC 1985) and Pension Associates, Inc. (PAI), located in St. Louis, Missouri (founded 1957; acquired by BCBSMo in 1990). In November 2005, the company split into two separate organizations: EPOCH Kansas City and The EPOCH Group of St. Louis. Recently, The EPOCH Group of St. Louis changed its name to RightCHOICE Benefit Administrators. |
