The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, or NIOSH, within CDC administers the program.
What Are the WTC Health Program TPA’s Responsibilities?
The TPA for the CDC WTC Health Program receives and processes enrollment applications and certification requests for NIOSH decision-making; oversees a call center; maintains member demographic information; manages and maintains provider networks on behalf of the program; administers program benefits; and processes medical claims, among other tasks.
