Question:
What is the difference between a health plan and a payer?
Answer:
A health plan is an individual plan or group health plan that provides or pays the cost of medical care. The term “payer” is an industry term and may include a health plan, but may also designate other entities that do not meet the definition of a health plan, such as a third party administrator (TPA).
