TPA (Third Party Administrator)

A Third Party Administrator (TPA) is an organization that manages administrative tasks for insurance companies, employers, or large organizations. They handle functions such as processing claims, managing benefits, and ensuring regulations are met. Essentially, TPAs act as an intermediary between the insurer and the insured, streamlining operations and providing specialized expertise to efficiently manage health, dental, or other benefit plans without the insurer needing to handle every detail directly. This allows the primary organization to focus on their core activities while ensuring benefits are managed effectively.
