Arizona law requires Life and Health Administrators operating in this state to be registered with the Arizona Department of Insurance, unless they are exempt by statute (A.R.S. §20-485.12 et seq.).  Life and Health Administrators are more commonly referred to as third party administrators (TPA).

There is not a separate application procedure for resident versus non-resident TPA applicants in Arizona.  One application process applies to both:

Application Process Requirements (Word 97 format)

In Arizona, the TPA designation does not apply to those persons acting as administrators for property and casualty or workers’ compensation claims handling; they must be licensed as “adjusters” (A.R.S. §20-321). 

The registration process for a TPA requires that an application and filing fee be submitted with other documents and information.  The applications forms are now available on-line or you may request them by mail at this address:
