TRG CLAIMS TO BE PAID IN ARK.:

Arkansas Insurance Commissioner Mike Pickens said agreements have been reached regarding the payment of outstanding claims for enrollees in the health plan of TRG Marketing LLC. National Health Plans Plus Inc. (NHPP) has committed to paying all legitimate claims on TRG policies sold by agents of NHPP. The company is expected to pay more than $240, 000 as a result of TRG’s failure to pay claims due under the health plan sold by NHPP. Florida-based NHPP sold the TRG health plan product until the plan was shut down in 2002. TRG Marketing had been operating as an unauthorized multiple employer welfare arrangement (MEWA) plan. It had falsely claimed both to offer a single employer plan pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and to be exempt from state regulation. Former TRG enrollees should contact Associate Counsel Sara Farris at the insurance department with questions concerning claims unpaid by TRG. Farris can be reached at (800) 282-9134 or (501) 371-2820.
