When is the earliest that a person administering workers’ compensation benefits may make application for a COA as a TPA?
The TPA application on the Department’s website is available and can currently be downloaded, completed, and submitted for consideration at any time. If your company is not currently licensed, but it is currently performing functions that require a COA under Chapter 4151 and the current administrator rules, it is suggested that you submit a COA application as soon as reasonably possible to avoid potential sanctions. The link to the application is located at: www.tdi.state.tx.us/forms/form5tpa.html.
