Regulate third party administrators, Health Ministry told

With reference to a letter titled, ‘Panel doctors feeling the squeeze’ published in The Star on Jan 20, the Medical Practitioners Coalition Association of Malaysia (MPCAM) has received many similar grouses from doctors, regarding managed care organisations (MCOs) and third party administrators (TPAs) handling the payments of consumers’ health bills from corporate bodies - which had originally appointed said MCOs and TPAs to manage the health benefits of their employees.
