Third Party Collections(TPC)
What is TPC?
Under Title 10, United States Code, Section 1095, states that it is required for any MTF to bill your other health insurance (OHI) for Outpatient visits or Inpatient stays. If you have TRICARE and other health insurance, the government requires the collection of payments from your insurance.
The TPCP is set-up to assist the flow of patient information relayed to your insurance company. When a patient is seen and given care at a MTF, services are coded, then billed to your insurance carrier.
Where does the money go?
Funds received from your healthcare insurance will go back into the MTF’s operating and maintenance budget. This will enhance the total service provided to patients and the readiness of the hospital.
