4,000 Pound Gorilla Issues RFP For Consulting Services For Self-Funded Health Plan

Hidalgo County is seeking competitive proposals for Insurance Consultant for their self-funded BUCA plan.

Based on the county’s historic love affair with the BUCAs the end result of any future RFP for TPA services will undoubtedly end up being one of three remaining BUCA contenders in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas.

It won’t be Aetna – they’ve worn out there welcome there. It won’t be Blue Cross because United HealthCare has been kicking ass lately.

Madamn Palm on 14th Street, Brownsville, Texas says its in the cards for United HealthCare. She says she will happily memorialize her predictions for $5 should the county be interested in saving money on an insurance consultant. What’s her prediction on that possibility? “¿Estás bromeando? ¡De ninguna manera eso va a suceder! (TRANSLATION: “Ain’t gonna happen!”)

So, to save time and money, the county should simply go with United Healthcare because that’s where they’re going anyway. And they will save $5.
