Independent by choice.
Accountable by design.
Summit Health Administration was founded on a simple idea: employers deserve a benefits partner whose only interest is theirs.
Who we are
A TPA built around the employer, not the other way around.
For over 15 years, Summit Health Administration has served self-funded employers across industries with one guiding principle: your plan should work for your people, not for a carrier's bottom line.
We handle every dimension of benefits administration — claims, pharmacy, compliance, analytics, member services — so you can focus on your business. And because we're independently owned, we answer only to our clients.
Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, our team combines deep benefits expertise with modern technology to deliver a TPA experience that's responsive, transparent, and built for the long term.
Our Mission
To deliver health plan administration that puts people first — giving employers the transparency and control they need, and giving members the support and access they deserve.
Our Vision
To be the TPA that proves self-funded plans can be simpler, smarter, and more human — raising the standard for what employers should expect from their benefits partner.
Our values
What guides everything we do.
Transparency
No hidden fees, no fine print, no conflicts of interest. We show you exactly what you're paying and what you're getting.
Accountability
We own outcomes, not excuses. When something needs fixing, we fix it — and we tell you about it before you have to ask.
Innovation
Modern tools, real-time reporting, and integrated systems. We invest in technology so administration gets simpler, not harder.
Service Excellence
Every member gets a real person, every call gets resolved, and every client gets a team that knows their plan inside and out.
