The TPA has received several inquiries from Plan Sponsors regarding procurement of W9 forms from Drug Manufacturers in order to make the necessary payments during both the Phase I and the annual ‘true-up’ portions that are part of the negative invoice reimbursement process.
In order to facilitate the exchange of this information, the TPA will provide the appropriate contact information to Plan Sponsors who require this information. The Sponsors will be responsible for working with that manufacturer to secure the W9, as well as any other information they may need in order to pay their invoices. Please note that this contact will be made available on an ‘as requested’ basis.
Drug Manufacturers are encouraged to respond to the Plan Sponsor’s request for this information promptly in order to assure timely payment.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact TPA Operations either by email at
tpaoperations@tpadministrator.com or by telephone at 1-877-534-2772, option 1.
