US Healthcare Insurance Third-Party Administrator Market Size and Forecast (2021 - 2031), Country Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis Report Coverage: By Type (Health Insurance, Disability Insurance, Workers’ Compensation Insurance, and Others), Enterprise Size (Large Enterprises and SMEs)
The US Healthcare Insurance Third-Party Administrator Market size was valued at US$ 64.92 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 144.86 billion by 2031. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 12.1% from 2024 to 2031. The growth of the healthcare insurance third-party administrator market in the US is driven by several key factors, including the rising healthcare costs, increasing adoption of self-funded insurance plans by employers seeking cost savings, the growing complexity of healthcare management and regulatory compliance, and the rising demand for specialized administrative services such as claims processing, analytics, and member support. Additionally, the expansion of telehealth services and employer-sponsored health plans, the need for enhanced efficiency in claims adjudication, and the ability of third-party administrators to offer customized solutions for diverse healthcare needs further fuel the market. The shift toward AI-driven tools and automation in third-party administrators also contributes to the rising reliance on third-party administrators to streamline operations and reduce overall costs for insurers and employers.
According to the United States Census Bureau, in 2023, the majority of the US population, ~92.0% or 305.2 million people, had health insurance for at least part of the year. Private health insurance coverage remained the dominant form, covering 65.4% of individuals, while public coverage accounted for 36.3%. Employment-based insurance was the most widespread form, providing coverage for 53.7% of the population, followed by Medicaid and Medicare, both covering 18.9% of individuals. Other forms of coverage included direct-purchase insurance at 10.2%, TRICARE at 2.6%, and VA/CHAMPVA at 1.0%. This increasing prevalence of health insurance, particularly employer-sponsored plans, has fueled the growth of the healthcare insurance third-party administrator market in the US. As more employers offer self-funded health plans, the demand for third-party administrators to handle administrative tasks such as claims processing, compliance, and member services continues to rise.
