Public factsSelf-funded TPA with navigation
Independent TPA that combines plan administration, a benefits hub, member navigation and advocacy, and Collective AI for self-funded employers.
Overview
Collective Health calls itself the leading independent third-party administrator that brings together plan administration, cost management, and member care. Public products include Collective TPA, Navigation & Advocacy (high-tech/high-touch front door, including complex care), Benefits Hub with a Premier Partner Program and The Partner Collective tool, and Collective AI (CAI) inside My Collective. Vendor-reported figures include $600 potential savings per employee per year using plans and programs available through the solution, 86% client satisfaction, and 70 member NPS versus an industry average of 30. Named client stories include Pinterest, Activision Blizzard, and Zoom.
Why it matters Collective is bought as the TPA of record with navigation included; that is a different decision than adding HealthJoy or Quantum on top of an incumbent administrator.
- Target buyer
- Self-funded employers and their consultants that want a modern TPA with a built-in member app and advocacy layer, not a point-solution navigator sitting on another administrator.
- Pricing model
- Not published; TPA / platform fees, sales-assisted
- No ASO PEPM or implementation fees on collectivehealth.com. $600 potential PEPM-year savings is a vendor ‘potential’ outcome using available plans and programs, not a fee.

Notes & Limitations
- $600 PEPM-year savings is labeled “potential” and depends on programs used.
- Satisfaction and NPS are vendor-reported.
- Deeper product URLs failed or 404’d in this pass.
- “National” is inferred from U.S. self-funded TPA positioning; no state matrix was found.
- Collective is primarily a TPA; navigation is a layer, not the only product.
