What is a Third Party Administrator (TPA)?

A Third Party Administrator (TPA) is an individual or an organization, which helps in processing of the insurance claims. These organizations or people are 'outsourced'. They take care of almost all works related to administration of reimbursement process and other services offered to the clients by the policy. A TPA works on behalf of Apollo Munich.

TPA is said to be the link between the Company and its clients.

  1. I have come across this term often while looking for health insurance plans; contact your TPA for this and that; and the TPA will give you a whole list of things, but I had no clue of what a TPA was. And till now I was under the impression that a TPA is the insurance company itself. This is a good and brief note on what it is and its job. Thanks.
