HCAA was formed in 1980 as the Independent Administrators Association, a California-based not-for-profit that acted as a legislative and regulatory advisory group for third party administrators and related service providers. Following the passage of ERISA and similar laws, third party administrators needed a voice in Washington as well as educational opportunities with leading experts in the industry.

For over 30 years, the Health Care Administrators Association (HCAA) has supported third party administrators through educational opportunities from leading industry experts. With the 2010 passing of health care reform legislation, HCAA has also committed to take a leading role in legislative advocacy, working to increase its influence with policymakers and the media in order to transform the TPA industry and its role in health care.
