English to Portuguese Medical Government / Politics

In health care, the term ‘Payer’ generally refers to people or bodies other than the patient that finance or refund the cost of medicinal products and health services. Payers can be government ministers deciding the price or reimbursement of products at a national level, administrators within health technology assessment (HTA) bodies, medical insurance companies or they can be a pharmacist in a hospital who helps determine which products the hospital uses.

Nesse contexto, vocês conhecem algum termo específico/técnico para "payer" em português?

Desde já agradeço a ajuda! ;-)
