Workers' Compensation Uninsured Claims Administration

The State of Nevada, through the Department of Administration Purchasing Division and the Department of Business and Industry Division of Industrial Relations (DIR), is seeking proposals from qualified third-party workers' compensation claim administrators (TPAs) to investigate, administer, and manage all workers' compensation claims for the Uninsured Employers' Claim Account (UECA) in Clark County and the City of Las Vegas. The initial contract term is two years, with an option to renew for an additional two years, and the selected vendor will be responsible for a wide range of claims management services including claims processing, investigations, medical cost control, litigation support, and reporting. Vendors must be licensed by the Nevada Division of Insurance and demonstrate relevant experience in workers' compensation claims administration. Proposals are due by March 16, 2021 at 2:00 PM.

The contract does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent provider is not identified, and the funding for the contract will come from DIR assessments on Nevada workers' compensation insurers. The contract does not specify a budget range, but proposers are required to provide detailed pricing information, including all components of their charges, as part of their cost proposals.
