Importance of Third Party Administrators (TPA) To Insurance Companies
Insurance companies partially rely on TPAs for smooth settlement of claims. Other reasons as to why do insurance companies need TPAs are listed below:
- Having a dedicated institute to facilitate claim settlement.
- Co-ordinating the complete process (from treatment to discharge).
- Proper management and investigation of cases.
How Does TPA Work?
TPAs have expertise in managing documentation for easier claim settlement. Below are two cases, which will showcase the role of TPAs in health insurance.
Case 1: Cashless Treatment
Ramesh works in Genpact. His wife is diagnosed with a kidney stone and the doctor suggests an immediate operation. As he has taken a health insurance policy from HDFC ERGO Insurance Company, he plans to go for cashless treatment.
Once Ramesh selects a suitable hospital, the next step is to visit the network hospital and get in touch with the insurance claims department. The designated TPA will help out the policyholder to submit the necessary documentation for a successful claim settlement.
Case 2: Non-Cashless Treatment
At times, many individuals are not able to take treatment from an empanelled hospital due to some reason. For this, the process remains the same as cashless claims. TPAs resolve all the queries related to non-cashless treatment and provide easy management and settlement of claims. The only difference- the policyholder needs to pay the medical expenses upfront and settle the claims later through insurers. Usually, if all the documents are placed well, then the claim settlement would not take more than 30-45 days.
What Are The Limitations of TPA?
- Since TPAs are not the actual health insurance providers, they may not have adequate information.
- Customers often get confused between agents and TPAs.
- As TPAs are middlemen, they don’t have a major say in claim settlement.
TPAs play an important role in an easy settlement of health insurance claims. They are the major support system of the insurer as they undertake major responsibilities on behalf of the insurance companies.
