At the heart of every federal limited benefit program are millions of individuals who rely on them for essential healthcare services or financial support. These individuals are part of a population who, because they meet specified eligibility criteria, deserve access to a restricted set of program benefits. Third party administrators (TPAs) offer critical expertise in claims processing, regulatory compliance, and benefits administration, and they serve as a valuable backbone for these programs. Unlike Medicaid and other traditional health benefits, these programs provide targeted but restricted assistance, and because of these differences, claims facilitation takes a different path and can require specialized knowledge and often customized handling procedures.
