WELCOME TO NAPBA
NAPBA is a grassroots organization for third party administrators (TPAs) of employee benefits programs
About Us
The National Association of Benefit Administrators (NAPBA) is comprised of third party administrators (TPAs), using their collective talents and best practices to continually ensure all members flourish in the ever-evolving healthcare industry and consumer-directed health plans market. To further strengthen our position, we have partnered with ECFC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advocacy, education, advancement, and innovation of tax-advantaged benefit programs that facilitate choice for employers and employees.
President's Message
NAPBA has long been a cornerstone of collaboration and knowledge-sharing – a place where TPA owners and executives come together to explore innovative solutions and push the boundaries of excellence. Within our community, we foster an environment where insights are exchanged, fresh perspectives emerge, and we empower one another to lead our individual organizations while collectively shaping the future of CDH.
Our commitment to continuous learning remains unwavering. Through initiatives like Fire Starter sessions, networking opportunities, and our flagship annual conference, we provide the tools and connections that keep our members ahead of the curve. These gatherings are more than just events; they’re catalysts for leadership, adaptability, and progress in the ever-evolving CDH industry.
As NAPBA’s President, I’m excited about the road ahead. The strength of our association lies in the incredible community of members and partners we’ve built together. By joining forces, we not only strengthen our own businesses but also elevate the entire industry – ensuring that NAPBA remains a beacon of innovation and excellence.
Mark your calendars! Next year, we’ll gather for our annual conference at the stunning Hotel Kansas City in Kansas City, MO., from September 14-16, 2025. Stay tuned for more details as we craft an event that promises to be as inspiring as it is impactful.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication.
Warm regards,

NAPBA Membership
Peers Collaborating
NAPBA is a unique and selective association dedicated to providing an enriching and stimulating environment for owners and key personnel of administrators doing business in the CDH and COBRA marketplace.
Membership in NAPBA is by invitation only. This ensures that new members represent quality organizations that will add value to the association, as well as ensuring that the association provides value in return to the member. Membership requirements specify for an individual to join either as an “Owner” or as an “Executive” of the member TPA. The key here is that the individual member is one who has decision making authority and responsibility for the overall management of the TPA and/or its activities. The owner and/or executive is free to involve other coworkers in association events, but this should be in addition to the owner and/or executive’s active participation in those events.
Annual Membership provides the benefit of:
-
Annual Conference registration for primary owner/executive (1 attendee) including informative sessions, fun evening events.
-
Participation in Fire Starter collaboration sessions where members are matched with members each month.
-
Being an industry voice as a grass roots organization
-
Continuing education, practice management, networking, peer discussions
Annual Membership
New and renewing members - $1,795

NAPBA Annual Conference
NAPBA stands out as an exclusive and discerning association committed to fostering an invigorating and dynamic atmosphere for TPA owners and key personnel of administrators operating within the CDH and COBRA sectors. Participation in the annual conference is restricted solely to existing NAPBA members and affiliated partners by invitation only.
Our conference features a wide variety of sessions to help our members and their businesses. These include presentations from industry leading speakers, and lively industry panels, all of which allow for healthy discussion and interaction. But perhaps most importantly, our conference affords the unique opportunity to develop close professional and personal relationships with industry leaders representing all sectors of our market, from TPA’s, to the top technology vendors, to industry thought leaders.
