A third-party payer is, to put it simply, anyone who pays for medical services other than the patient himself. There are several types of third-party payers for healthcare services in the U.S. The most commonly seen ones are private insurance companies, like Blue Cross, and government insurance, like Medicare for the elderly or Medicaid for those with lower incomes.
All of these third-party payers will cover a portion of what the patient owes for his medical services, and each type of payer has its own set of conditions that must be met by the clinician or facility providing the services in order for it to get paid. These sets of conditions used to be much simpler than they are now, but because the presence of third-party payers has driven up costs of medical services, these conditions are changing to allow care to become more cost-effective.
