48. What are third party payors? Why are their interests important in accounting for health care entities?
Answer: Third party payors are entities that guarantee payment for a patient’s services, and include insurance companies and Federal programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
Third-party payors pay health care entities for a high percentage of the services provided to patients in the United States and amounts and the amounts they pay are usually less than the health care entity’s full established rates for those services. Thus, the large amount of payments from third-party payors for health care, as well as the large amounts of adjustments the health care entity must make for the amounts received that are less than the established rates makes disclosure of third-party payors important in the financial reporting of health care entities.
