WEB, CEBS, SHRM are three organizations that should be able to help you.

WEB & CEBS either advertise or have message boards at this web site.

I also work for a TPA. For state mandates, I can recommend a reference work from Health Policy Tracking Service called Major Health Care Policies, 50 State Profiles. Their website is http://www.htps.org and phone is 202-624-3567. Good luck.

The Health Insurance Association of American (HIAA) offers self-study courses in health insurance and managed care. They have 10 courses leading up to two professional designations: Health Insurance Associate (HIA) and Managed Healthcare Professional (MHP). I purchased some of their books and study guides earlier this year for my daughter who was supervising a hospital accounts payable department. She found the books very helpful.

HIAA's Web site is at www.hiaa.org. Click on the link for Insurance Education.

Good luck!
