TPMO
Third-party marketing organization (TPMO) are organizations and individuals, including independent agents and brokers, who are compensated to perform lead generation, marketing, sales, and enrollment related functions as a part of the chain of enrollment (the steps taken by a beneficiary from becoming aware of a Part D plan or plans to making an enrollment decision). TPMOs may be a first tier, downstream or related entity (FDRs), as defined under 423.4, but may also be entities that are not FDRs but provide services to a Part D sponsor or a Part D sponsor's FDR.
