Get in contact with them to start a conversation on how you can add TPM Trust products to your toolkit.
Maintaining Active Producer
Status
Active status (able to quote new business) comes with specific minimum requirements. We want to have producers who are excited to be increasing their books of business and using their unique TPM status as a tool to differentiate themselves from other insurance producers.
- 4 Complete RFPs per year
- 1 New group brought to TPM per year
- Last look on all renewal business
- Attend in person or virtually annual Preferred Producer training (Mid-June)
Association Membership
In order to be eligible for any TPM Trust insurance products, participating companies must join the TPM Association. This bonified association provides all-inclusive services in Safety, HR, Business Law, Training, and more. Member groups should take advantage of all TPM services. Member companies will realize a high ROI on their membership dues when they utilize the expertise the Association brings.

Renewal Process and Timelines
To keep our renewal process tight, the Underwriter reviews experience over the prior nine months. This generally means you have renewals 60-70 days before the effective date for the group. In order to assure continuity of coverage, renewal documents are expected 30 days before effective dates, with a minimum 10-days-notice required for terminations.
Renewal Documents
- PEA (with each proposal and renewal comes a page where specific plans and rates can be signed off on.
- If the renewal is correct, without changes, the renewal is only two pages.
- Association, review group size, EIN numbers, etc. …
Experience Reports for groups over 100 enrolled
Once a participating company has three-consecutive months, of over 100 subscribers enrolled in the TPM Trust medical plan, producers may request to receive their Claims by the month and Large Claims over $50k.
Most associations do not release any experience reports, but we understand as a Producer you need to be able to consult with your groups and help them understand the continued value the TPM Trust brings to them.
We do not rate our Dental or Vision products, they are priced to break even, so we do not share any experience reports on those lines of coverage.
Membership Eligibility Portal Training
Once a group has been added to our Enrollment system, a virtual training will be shared with them and access to our website will be granted. With this ability to add, edit, or term groups have the ability to make sure all enrollment guidelines are followed – and groups no longer may opt-out of our random enrollment audits (This is an OIC requirement of our Trust).
If you have any questions, we are always happy to assist your member companies with these steps.
