Louisiana Authorized Third Party Administrators (Lamps) are independent organizations that assist employers in complying with the state's workers' compensation laws. They provide consultation, training, and administrative services to employers, including claims management, policy development and implementation, and financial management. There are two types of Louisiana Authorized Third Party Administrators: Certified Third Party Administrators (C-TPAs) and Qualified Third Party Administrators (Q-TPAs). C-TPAs are licensed by the Louisiana Department of Insurance and are required to meet certain qualifications and undergo a rigorous review process. Q-TPAs are not required to be licensed by the Department of Insurance, but they must still meet certain qualifications. Both C-TPAs and Q-TPAs are authorized to assist employers in complying with state requirements and may provide services such as claims management, policy development and implementation, and financial management.
