RFP Guidelines

Requesting Self-Funded Quotes from SBA and PacificSource

New self-funded/ASO business not currently with PacificSource:

If the client wants only self-funded quotes, please send the RFP directly to SBA and we will quote.

If the client wants both fully insured and self-funded quotes, please send the RFP to both PacificSource and SBA. PacificSource will quote on the fully-insured business and SBA will issue a self-funded quote.

Groups currently under PacificSource self-funded/ASO contracts:

Will remain with PacificSource. If your client asks for additional options or flexibility (for example, a different PBM, stop-loss carrier, or PPO network), SBA will issue a proposal.

Groups under PacificSource fully insured contracts that request self-funded/ASO quotes:

If the client only wishes to change the funding arrangement, PacificSource will issue a proposal and continue to provide administrative services. If the client is interested in additional flexibility such as unbundling of services, then SBA will issue a proposal.

To request a proposal from SBA:

Please e-mail nlouris@selectadmin.com or mbacon@selectadmin.com, or mail your request to: Select Benefit Administrators, Inc., 7420 SW Hunziker St., Suite C, Portland, OR 97223.

Please be sure to include all of the information outlined in our checklist and keep in mind that most stop-loss carriers require ten working days to prepare a stop-loss proposal. Providing your information electronically substantially increases our ability to process your request in a timely fashion.
