What is a TPA, and Why is it Important?

A TPA, or Third Party Administrator, is a service provider that acts as the bridge between your insurance company and healthcare providers like hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. In the case of ADNIC TPA, it handles a wide range of services on your behalf. This way, it makes sure your health insurance works smoothly and efficiently.

Here’s why TPAs are important in your healthcare journey — 

  1. Claim Handling: TPAs manage your insurance claims, including approvals, processing, and reimbursements
  2. Hospital Coordination: It communicates directly with hospitals and clinics to arrange pre-authorisations or direct billing
  3. Provider Network Access: TPAs maintain a large network of medical providers you can use without paying upfront
  4. Customer Support: You get assistance with queries, claim status, and required documentation
  5. Emergency Support: Some TPAs also provide 24/7 helplines for emergencies or urgent approvals

Who are ADNIC’s TPA Partners?

ADNIC works closely with some of the most trusted and experienced Third Party Administrators (TPAs) in the region. These TPAs handle the operational side of your insurance. The claims are processed quickly, approvals are managed correctly, and you always have access to the right hospitals and clinics.

Given below are the ADNIC TPAs —

Which Provider Networks are Managed by ADNIC TPAs?

One of the biggest benefits of having ADNIC health insurance is access to a wide and tiered network of healthcare providers — from local clinics to top-tier international hospitals. These networks are managed by ADNIC’s approved TPAs like NextCare, NAS, and MSH International.

Each insurance plan (Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze) comes with its own provider network level, based on coverage, location, and pricing. Your assigned TPA handles this network for direct billing, claim coordination, and hospital access.

  1. ADNIC Website 
  2. TPA Portals (e.g., NextCare, NAS)
  3. ADNIC Mobile App — Filter by emirate, speciality or language
  4. Medical Card — Shows your TPA and eligible network

How Does ADNIC TPA Support You Digitally?

ADNIC ensures that your health insurance is digital, quick, and right at your fingertips. Whether you're submitting a claim, checking your network, or tracking approvals, your ADNIC TPA offers multiple digital channels to make your life easier.

🧾 Here’s what you can do online or through the app –

Where You Can Access It

💡 Example: If you went to a pharmacy and the medicine wasn’t covered directly, you could just scan and upload the receipt via the ADNIC app or your TPA portal for fast reimbursement.

Reimbursement & Direct Billing Process in ADNIC TPA

When it comes to paying for medical services, ADNIC gives you two clear options — Direct Billing and Reimbursement. 

Direct Billing

This is when you don’t have to pay anything at the hospital, clinic, or pharmacy (except your co-payment, if any). Your TPA settles the bill directly with the provider.

✅ You can use direct billing when — 

  • You visit a network provider listed under your ADNIC plan
  • The service is covered and pre-approved (if required)
  • You show your ADNIC insurance card (with your TPA listed)

💡 Example: You visit a hospital for a covered diagnostic test. The provider sends a request to the TPA (like NAS or NextCare). Once approved, the hospital bills the TPA directly. You only pay any co-insurance if applicable.

Reimbursement Billing

If you visit a provider that’s not in your network or pay upfront for treatment, you can apply for reimbursement later.

📄 How to get reimbursed — 

  • Submit your claim via ADNIC mobile app, email or your TPA’s portal
  • Provide:
    • Original medical report
    • Paid invoice
    • Prescription and medicine receipts
  • Claims are usually processed within 14 working days

What is Assist America and How Does It Help ADNIC Members?

When you’re travelling internationally or far from home, getting urgent medical help can feel stressful. That’s where Assist America comes in. Note that it’s not a TPA like NAS or NextCare. It’s actually a global emergency service partner provided by ADNIC for members who are 120 km or more away from their permanent residence or in another country.

How do I know which TPA I’m assigned to?

Your assigned ADNIC TPA (like NAS, NextCare or MSH) will be clearly printed on your insurance card. You can also find it in your welcome kit and any claim-related communication.

Can I change my TPA after I receive my card?

This depends on the type of plan you have —

  • For group or employer-provided policies, your HR or policy administrator can request a change, subject to ADNIC’s approval
What documents do I need for a reimbursement claim?

  • Doctor’s medical report or diagnosis
  • Prescription (if medicines were bought)
  • Invoice with breakdown of services
