Third Party Administrators (TPAs) Want YOUR Input!
Responses to survey due by Dec. 1.
Below is an open letter from Restoration Industry Association leadership to the restoration industry.
Fellow Restorers,
As you know, RIA recently released the industry’s first Third Party Administrator (TPA) Scorecard. The purpose of this Scorecard is to help contractors make informed decisions and to ultimately improve the restorer/TPA relationship.
The Scorecard is intended to be a constructive means to drive change within the TPA environment. We understand many RIA members rely on TPAs for revenue, and TPAs rely on restorers to fulfill their promise to carriers. Now is the time to bridge the gap that exists between restorers and TPAs. The Scorecard report is available as an RIA member-only benefit and can be accessed here.
Since the release of the TPA Scorecard, Ed Cross, RIA’s Restoration Advocate has been conducting constructive conversations with TPAs on how the restorer/TPA relationship can be improved.
TPAs are seeking more specific input and suggestions from restorers on what improvements can be made. This is your unique opportunity to provide your input to TPAs.
RIA has developed an anonymous TPA Scorecard Feedback Survey for restorers to provide specific input and suggestions on what they would like to see changed to improve the restorer/TPA relationship. The input provided will be utilized by the Restoration Advocate to advocate for key improvements that will address the most commonly identified pain points and challenges restorers face in working with TPAs.
Here’s how this anonymous survey will work:

Thank you for helping us advocate for the best interests of restoration contractors nationwide.
Sincerely,
Mark Springer
