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.
