Third-party health insurance is defined as insurance coverage in which a third party, namely the insurance company, pays the actual provider of healthcare services for services rendered to the employee. Third-party insurance is the most versatile and comprehensive option for health insurance. Third-party health insurance includes public and private health insurance programs as well as managed care and preferred provider networks.
Health insurance works a little differently when it comes to third party insurance. When you get health insurance as the first party, the second party becomes your physician or the hospital when claims are made. The insurance company becomes the third party when it pays the medical expenses to the doctor or medical facility.
