A Processor is an organization that performs various tasks upon claim data in order to ensure that the Payer's systems can accept that data. Some processors assist the Payer in certain adjudication tasks. This organization is an intermediary between the Biller and the Payer, and performs various value-added services, including routing of electronic payments. Note that a Processor might be a Third Party Administrator or a Pharmacy Benefits Manager. For the purposes of claims processing, we do not need to distinguish these.
